This spec has been misquoted before.
The TRD springs are actually 1.5" drop front and back unless you get the Toyota Canada spec which are Eibach springs at 1.25" drop at both ends.
My TRD springs are more likely at a 2" drop after a few years running. TRD 18" wheel package rubs slightly on the inner fender at full lock and against the outer fender during big bumps. These are 215's and I know the added weight of my Blitz S/C up front is contributing to the outer rubs.

Where do u get ur numbers from for TRD springs, really now.
It's. 5 and 1.5 anything else is not TRD for Yaris and if ur springs sit this much lower after few years than I say u got fakes or there is something really wrong.
