The springs are great! Only bounces over ridiculous 80 mph giant road bumps but quickly grabs ahold of itself. I really love the feeling.

TRD springs works awesome. had it for 2 weeks now, love the ride quality on it. the drop is about 0.75 front and rear, wish drop little more. but it rides perfect for DD

To be honest i just got the springs because im installing 18 inch rims and didnt want to look like i was about to go offroading. It seemed to be the best option for keeping stock ride quality an diminishing the gap at the same time

I had 18 inch on the TRD spring now, rides better than stock. corner turns makes a big difference with the TRD spring.

I have TRD spring and TRD Sway bar both front and rear installed.

I love the rides, it gave the car more balance on corner sharp turns and less bumping on rocky roads. by far I like it alot. Plus, all the TRD springs and sway bars are manufacture by Eibach so the quality is top notch.

they are great. I used to had H&R sport spring on my car, sold because TRD spring came out. I love the ride much better. I have TRD spring on stock strut. so far no issues at all, I got almost 20K on it.

No camber issues? And what size rim and tire are you running?
