For a 0.75" drop, just grab some RCE Yellows. As someone who just installed a set, guarantee you will be very happy.

I got mine off a site called phasteksport for $285 with a discount they were running (not sure if it's still going), but you can find them around $300 from multiple places online. Worth every penny if you want to see some performance upgrades and still have a very comfortable spring for DD duty.

when do we have a chance to get a TRD part for less than another AM product??

Makes sense. Personally, I'm looking for the best product regardless of manufacturer so having it be TRD doesn't make me more or less likely to buy it. But I understand that a lot of people want to have an official Toyota part on there.

I really find it hard to believe there is a better "stock" feeling spring out there than the RCE Yellows.

Looks good!

How is it that these guys (www.Toyotaterritory.com) have them but when I call my dealership they've never heard of them?

Looks subtle, less than an inch for sure, which makes sense. They probably wanted it subtle enough that alignment parts for the back are not necessary. From experience lowering an inch (swift springs) brings the rear camber to about -2 degrees, which looks quite sunken in with stock wheels.

When I took home my monogram which had TRD sway bars felt totally different. Better. But now I think about it sway bars could play a small factor. I also have TRD 18" alloy wheels and Mich pilot super sport tires. I'll throw the stock wheels back on and see the end results that way.

Please keep update.
Thanks.
