What has your experience with these TRD JDM coilovers been like? Daily street driving and track days alike. Hows the adjustability? I am looking at picking up a heavily discounted set myself. Any feedback and impressions would be much appreciated! BTW... excellent build!

I use more mine for daily driving and track and they are excellent.

Only issue you will have is if you want to drop your car a lot then they bottom out after about a 25mm or 30mm drop. Mine are max low at the back. You can see on second pic down on my build thread what that looks like.

Excellent. Thanks for the heads up!

Do you have a lot of bumpy roads where you live? I have TRD Springs on Sport SE struts on my Camry and I get the same behaviour...

I'm not talking about them bottoming out when driving, just that they don't have as much height adjustment as other brands if you want to go quite low.

Our roads are not great but I've found no problems with the coilovers finding it an issue. I have the TRD coilovers, TRD race springs and TRD pillowball set and camber plates.

Yeah, I can see you transforming into a 14R60, CF and all!

Have the ratios and final drive been changed? Longer or shorter?

Looks and sounds amazing plus driver friendly given how easily your bud got up to speed. Nice...
