no I am looking for just USDM spec springs. I have taken off the rearend because of alignment problems and weight, I am going to return to 2wd, hence the new springs. the 205 ones work for the stock rear but they sit kind of funny which makes me nervous.

BTW: neone interested in a 205 AWD tranny and rear transfer case? - will sell cheap

I love my Eibach Sportlines. They're a 1.5" drop and they have an excellent ride quality to them. >smile.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...

Get Tein. They are made by one of the most well respected suspension companies there is. They must be good, and they're much cheaper than sportlines.

That's very true. I was just saying that they're good parts. >wink.gif> NEVERSTOP made them sound like they were horrible from his post.

>confused.gif> Brian Ev told me they discontinued the Intrax springs..? Thats why i ended up getting Toms Springs...
What didn't you like about your TRD springs? I've had mine for about 7 months now, no problems at all. How long did you have them and what did you notice in the long run. If its bad then maybe I should change my set up too. I'm driving on TRD springs and stock shocks.
