Just got the TRDs installed today and some odd numbers for height before and after. Left rear reads 1.625" lower. But roughly, 1" lower front and 1.25" right rear which is OK for me. I will give some time to settle and will post final numbers and pics. By this time I'll check if something wrong with the LR...

Was that with a full tank of gas I find my car sits off with less gas but over all even, not on TRD tho

Before and after readings were taken with the same quantity of gas, about half tank.

Make sure the rear springs are both sitting correctly in their perches, which have depressions to hold them. And that you re-used your stock top hats.

Measures taken from ground to top/center of wheel well. 2 sets of measures were taken with the car moved in between. The final number represent the average.

BEFORE

FL: 25 7/16” FR: 25 1/2”
RL: 25 3/4” RR: 25 13/16”

AFTER

FL: 24 7/16” FR: 24 3/8”
RL: 24 3/16” RR: 24 5/8”

The job was make at a shop with an experienced mechanic. I trust their capabilities and could not imagine they did something wrong. At least, winter is almost over here and Ill switch to summer wheels/tires next week and will take this opportunity to have a check while the car is jacked.

Final result; the fit is perfect with the 205/50/16. Exactly what I wanted.

Exiwolfman · 04-06-2014, 10:26 PM

Over the first year mine settled at least one inch past the 1.5" specified. Looks rather slammed now. Stock Yari look like 4X4"s in comparison.

gojon17 · 04-07-2014, 08:23 PM

Man would mind posting pics?? some of the wheel gap as well??? :)
