Before/after pics of the wheel gap?


I need an alignment BAD, so will not on ride quality just yet. But, from the short distances i've traveled, it seems to be 10x better than the past setup.

>Yes, let's see those pics. And what are you doing with the old Tein springs? Would you be interested in selling them?


Pictures are coming after they settle. Before pics can be seen one page 1. Teins will be sold, I have no need for them.

My TRD springs before had a very tight two finger gap. Snap, not sure why you didn't want them.

TRD is reported to drop more than the prokit (as seen again with your 2 finger gap), even though on paper they're supposed to be the same. I am happy with how these are settling. Again, if you read prior posts in this thread i'm wanting less of a drop than teins and more than ugly stock (b/c of crossmember), and its giving it to me. smile.gif

Dragging this one out of mothballs. I'm having much the same issue as snapshotgt with my front suspension. Bouncy as hell, sitting super low and bottoming out on minor potholes at minor speed. My crossmember has been sectioned and plate steel reinforced so sits no lower than original. Only started happening around a year ago and the v6 has been in for 3 years - so does this just mean my struts are blown? Surely springs have lost their strength as well? I would go prokit as well but my cross member is not low like snapshots and I want a decent drop for performance reasons. Thoughts?
