TRD USA Springs - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

xRavenFRSx · 10-10-2014, 09:50 AM

I had the TRD lowering springs installed yesterday. Car feels about the same as it did before, maybe il feel a difference when they settle. It looks immediately better with some of the wheel gap closed in. Though I did notice what might be a problem, and if it is id assume an install issue. Going up the ramps in my parking garage at work and over the speed bumps at my apartment, both front and rear springs on the right side make like a plastic popping or crunching sound almost. Not the left side but id assume my 230 lbs might make the difference. Is that normal for newly installed lowering springs?

Im going to post pictures in about a week when the car is settled and doesn't look so dirty.

Nice, looks good. What are your wheel and tire specs?

Plastic popping noise was from the right front shock boot. So far, ride quality feels oem, and corners feel more predictable. Could be in my head. Car looks great at that height.

Car looks good! Do you have side shot of the car to show the current wheel gap?

I have had the TRD springs for over 1,000 miles easy now. I feel like they are giving a rougher ride now. Or could just be in my head. I was looking into coilovers. Possibly even just Koni yellow sport shocks combined with the TRD springs to see if that improves the ride quality. I love the height though on mine.
