TRD Springs
 

So I ordered a set of trd lowering springs for my 13 Frs, I got a box that says they're for a corolla/matrix are they the same springs or just an order mix up

Sounds like a mix up to me, send them back.

Thats what I was afraid of oh well thanks

Which begs the question,why would anyone need TRD springs for a Corolla or Matrix?

Why do people need them for any car?

even if it is for a commuter car, smaller wheel gap always looks better..

Part # for FR-S TRD Springs is PTR0718130. What is your part #?

I like the TRD springs on my FRS, it’s a mild drop. Just to visually get rid of some of that 4x4 wheel gap is worth it. LOL And they are made by Eibach I think, so they are good quality.

The TRD springs (port installed) on my 2020 86 were terrible. No suspension travel at all and always hitting the bumpstops. Unless you live down South I would avoid these as they are NOT matched to the dampers.

As I said in the other thread they were likely improperly installed. It is not normal to hit the stops all the time.

For the record I have lowered every car I have owned since 1995.
Even my … GASP … Lancers!
So far the Hakone is the only one that lasted at stock height for more than a week. Damn covid.

Yeah like Tcoat said there must have been something done incorrectly with that TRD spring install. They aren’t a very aggressive spring rate at all. You lose some ground clearance but that’s about it. Shouldn’t be hitting the bump stops all the time.

I’m jealous you got the Hakone edition. It’s gorgeous!

Still at monster truck height though!

That can be easily fixed! Otherwise it’s perfect. [emoji3][emoji106]

Probably more of a shock from having a stiffer spring. The 17 suspension is pretty darn comfortable for what it is.
I easily noticed the stiffness going RCE yellow over the factory MY17 86 spring. Much better road feel. Downside on bumpy/wavy roads you feel every bit of it through your ass. The factory springs soak up some of the small stuff a bit better.

I have only hit the bump spots a couple of times but god damn it's pretty jarring.

I have a NA8 Miata with 700/400 coilovers, there was no shock.



The tS's suspension and handling is night and day compared to the Hakone with TRD sways/TRD springs.


all is good. Wife didn't yell at me the whole 500 mile drive home!

Lowered? pssssttttt! - young-ens today - THIS is lowered!

:D

No that is SLAAAAAMMMED :eyebulge:

Maybe so ...... but, at least the wheels were still straight up and down - :D
