So the TRD lowering springs are released and it's the sway bars that got discontinued right? Cause the part # on the box in the picture for the springs is completely different from the part # everyone before the picture was first.

The site says 11/8" so I guess it means (11)/8" rather than 1" and 1/8" lol

If dealerships are not going to carry the springs that brings question whether they'd warranty your struts? Not likely it would appear so unless their springs are that much better then say Eibacks, Mach V etc etc... you're equally as well off to choose other available springs on market now.

I have the sway bars on my monogram. They are amazing. I'll definitely be getting those lowering spring asap! Too bad they wasn't available at the time I was ordering the TRD parts I had installed

Could you describe how the sway bars affect your handling? I'm interested in them, especially since you say they are amazing.
