on my GS a spring broke and my struts are out in the front. and I have 18x8wheels in the dront with 245/40/18 tire and 18x9 wheels in the back with 275/35/18 tire do you know if I get TRD springs that are 84.3mm front and 74.5mm back if my rims and tires will still fit? im thinking the springs are like 3.3 inch drop in front and like a 2.9inch drop in back. if anyone could help that would be great.

there's TRD springs for our vehicles? I had no idea, I thought there was only F Sport springs.

Our cars are built to spec by the way, 18x9 is nothing compared to some of the people using 20x10, with insane offsets, so i'm sure it SHOULD fit.

Good luck however and report back with results for future CL members!

P.S. if your struts in teh front are out, that's $1000, why not just get coilovers for the same price, with more durability, adjustability, and ability of 4 new struts instead of 2 O.E. struts?

I doubt 3" drop springs exist for our cars (with out cutting, of course), especially TRD. Also, how did your springs break?!?!

I doubt he broke a spring, my spider senses tell me he just drove on the broken struts for soo long he messed up the spring rates on his O.E. springs, hence broken springs lol...


Anywho, as for O.P. You can probably order them from CircuitMS. He's a fellow vendor here and I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out

If you would like a kit hit us up, we can go over the different spring rates options, etc. and gett you taken care of
