1. This is not the proper way to sell something on this forum.

2. You can get them brand new from a dealer for less...

Derrick Jenkins at conicelli Toyota hooked me up 188 and some change. Also hooked me up on TRD sway bar kit. Here is his number 1-610-825-7128 ext 2653

can anyone comment on how the TRD sway bars are? will putting the front only and not the rear be OK and not affect the car's performance too much?

if you want the trd ones, it comes with both. so why not just install the rear also. But if you really only want front, I would say go with a different brand. just because I tthink you can order seperatly

Thanks for the reply. I got the front as a gift but no rear. So I might just do the front by itself

Had the same experience......landed up getting a deal on Eibach sways.......installed yesterday on the soft setting, and all body roll is now gone..........also added camber bolts and it turns like a dream......

Installed the TRD springs yesterday and put on the new wheels. So far I'm loving them. Body roll is minimal compared to stock and ride comfort is almost the exact same, haven't noticed any difference there, so definitely not uncomfortable. If you can live with stock, then you can live with this. Went from a 4 finger gap to a 2 finger gap, which is close to an inch drop (sooo scientific lol). Highly recommend these springs.

Also, if you are considering these or the Eibach Prokit, pick whichever one is the cheapest for you. For me, TRD was cheaper, even after import fees into Canada. About $50-$60 cheaper than the Prokit even if I got the Prokit locally. The reason I say pick the cheaper one is because they are the same kit. The TRD springs are just powdercoated (or painted?) and rebranded Prokits. The new bumpstops even have Eibach branding one them.

I can confirm the pro-kit reference. TRD USA springs are--for the most part--rebranded Eibach springs.

I have TRD USA springs on my BRZ and went from 26 1/16 to 25 3/16 (front) and 26 7/16 to 25 9/16 (rear), basically a 7/8" drop all around.

Also, as mentioned the bumpstops are Eibach bumpstops and the coil count and rear coil "sleeve" are all the same as the Eibach kit.

The only thing I do not know is if the spring rates are the same. According to TRD's site the spring rates for the TRD springs are proprietary which makes me think they are different from the pro-kit. Nevertheless, the drop is the same, the car rides better than the stock springs and they are cheaper than the pro-kit. What's not to like.

I have the TRD sways on my FR-S. I'm very happy with the handling. I can't compare to stock because mine were port installed and I don't have a stock FRS to compare. Haha

I like them a lot. Still decent ride and great handling. Advise you wait at least a week to get alignment done as the springs do take some time to settle in (or at least mine did)
