I installed mine last Saturday, and so far I love em. I went to my local Toyota dealership with the part number in hand from Toyota territory, and they had the springs available and beat their price.

It has been said 0.75" or 20mm in a few places. Since the car is designed to ride 20mm lower I figure that seems about right.

I wouldn't trust the website as it says the rear sway bar is 17.5mm and mine was 16mm.


I own these springs but have not installed them yet. If I get time I'll take FTG measurements.
