Anyway, I have TRD lowering strings and sway bars as well. This video on low car rituals might be of interest:

Maybe the TRD stuff is different in Canada? They sell a set of 17x7.5" matte grey TRD forged wheels as a standard option/dealer installed option for msrp $375/wheel here in the US.


Video has some good tips, but so far the 1 inch drop from the trd springs hasn't been causing me to alter my driving habits any. I've always had sports cars though that are often pretty low. Had a stock height bmw M235i before this and the lowered 86 actually seems easier to manage. That car would actually get stuck on occasion coming into my driveway because it didn't have a limited split dif and the dip/angle would cause one rear wheel to lift and therefore spin freely while the other didn't move.
