Thanks Derick! You too! I wasn't sure about the one size fits all part. Do you recall how much it lifted up the rear end once installed?

I think I will order up a pair.

You are welcome!

I would say about 3/8"

To my surprise handling improved a lot. What Loren told me is that the spring rate will raise and it did! for good


I also recommend a Camber kit, not only looks cool but man you can tell the difference in corners and my favorite at ramps.


These are not so good pictures to show the difference but here we go anyway:

Before RING-TYPE COIL SPRING STABILIZER





After RING-TYPE COIL SPRING STABILIZER + Camber Kit

Question

OK, I got 'em. Now, where do I place them in the coil spring? Close to the body or close to the road? Somewhere in the middle? I think my TRD springs have the large end up top, almost like they are upside down. Can I just jack up the car (place jack stands for safety) so the springs are 'unloaded' then insert the spacer between the coils? I'll take before and after measurements too.

Thanks!

Jack up your car (place jack stands for safety) so the springs are 'unloaded' then insert the spacer between the coils AT THE BOTTOM. Push them as much as possible Look at this photo>




Then go for a ride you will experience a much better ride and even better at corners and specially at highway speeds, the feeling is GOOD.
I'm actually getting 2 more for the front.

PS. I now lucky you guys don't have the terrible winter issues around here!
