lowering springs

**jediracer** · 05-16-2005, 02:39 PM

I'm thinking about getting the TRD lowering springs (00602-48130-015). Here's my question: If I get the springs does that mean I have to upgrade the struts to high-performance struts? Or will it be okay?

The force will guide you.

Eventually your struts will go.

how much more quickly will they go versus if i do replace them with high performance?

I rode on Sportlines, which are a much greater drop than the TRD's for about 2 years, the struts were shot probably after a year or so.

This depends on the spring drop think rule of thumb is less than 50mm and the stock shocks should be ok over that and they will wear.
TRD is -20mm all around TTE about 30-32mm various spring manufactures have different drops. I'm running P.I.'s -30mm never had a problem over 2 years the car has even had all 4 wheels off the floor and landed ok (I REALLY HATE FECKING SPEED HUMPS OVER HERE)
Also remeber if you lower than 50mm you will need camber adjustment.

I was on sportlines as well and mine were gone after about 3 months....then I took Grants and fucked his up a little in just a few months. Finally Koni's solved all problems
