Hi all.

who is running TRD "competition use only" rear springs?

i'm looking at buying some rear springs (will be using coilovers front) and want to know how low they sit.

so if you are runnig them, post up a pic of your car, or do a quick measurement, and state your rate too please.

cheers

cheers matt, do you have a side on shot?

is there any noticable height difference between the two?

don't suppose you know the free height of those springs Matty? are you using TRD shocks in the back? do they hold springs captive?

there is the free height.. there 7kg springs.. i have 6.5kg in mine.. difference is really neglegable..

and there is a back height of my car, the tyres are 195/50 15's on 38psi.. so pretty level.. with just the top of the tyre inside the gaurd a fraction..

thanks for the pics guys, i'd rather them bbe too low than too high, i can make alloy spacers to get the ride height up a little bit (i want the tiniestbit of gap between top of tyre and bottom of guard, and might be running 195 55 15s eventually)

they are around 150 from greneline, ill get a quote on shipping soon.

thanks again!
