Who has TRD USA springs?

I've seen a few threads here and there over the last two years about TRD springs, with part numbers eventually popping up, and then stop-sales on the parts. All this confusion led to some people not wanting to wait and just get alternatives.

Well now that TRD springs are officially out and actually available to the public now (at least in the US), I'm wondering who has them now. They're supposed to be about an inch drop (slightly more) but I'm looking for owners who actually have them installed and can give their opinion on them. I already ordered mine and they should be there within the next week or so, but it'll be a few more weeks until I install them.

If no one has them yet (I'd be surprised), I will do a review for them when I have them installed.

Also let's make this a show off your ride with TRD springs thread.

I ordered off ebay, and they shipped the same day a few hours later.
I paid about $316 Canadian after the duty fees, taxes, conversion rates. Locally, I could get Eibach Pro-kits for $330 which was a discounted price, and TRD ones are rebranded Pro-kits anyway, and they're red

I have them and love em. I posted my opinions in the link given in post #3 in this thread or you can go to KCWS.org where I have a thread dedicated to the install and my opinions.

Bottom line tho... They are great!

i just bought a set from Wilson Toyota in Bellingham. I'm located in Vancouver, BC and us canadians usually get trd parts pretty late. i found them on sale at toyotaterritory.com and was able to get the local dealer to get close to cost. Took less than 24 hours to get them in shop.

I should have them installed sometime this month! woo hoo!

No you don't. They're only a 1 inch drop (probably less in real life) so no extra parts needed.
