TRd Sway bars & lowering springs

diablos1130 · 02-20-2009, 07:41 AM

Hi Aaron,

I heard these are also going to be discontinued, is that true?

te51levin · 02-20-2009, 07:11 PM

I have no indication that springs or sway bars are being discontinued at this time. And, if you need them, I keep them in stock anyway

hemlock82 · 02-20-2009, 10:32 PM

How much for the mkii trd springs, shipped to 32218? just putting together my shopping list... thanks!

te51levin · 02-20-2009, 11:52 PM

The springs are $248.90, and shipping would be right about $26, so pretty close to $275 delivered.

So what's up with front and rear swaybars for the mki I'm in atlanta ..?

They don't exist. Not from TRD, anyway. Besides which, lots of MkI owners don't consider them necessary. I'm still on stock bars too...

This quote is this for the trd springs???? If so what specs it is???
Or better yet is it allot better than hnr springs the red spirngs??? Thanks

te51levin · 02-21-2009, 12:43 PM

That quote is for TRD springs, part number PTR04-17900-10. These are the TRD Japan kit, part number 48130-SW220, but Toyota slaps a US part number sticker on the box when they arrive in the country. They show the following spring rates:

Front K=29.4N/mm
Rear K=53.9N/mm

As for what's better/worse, you'll have to ask opinions of people who've used them, search around the forums for pics and advice, etc. Just remember, it's all opinions, and everyone's needs and preferences are different...

datguydeni · 03-05-2009, 04:38 PM

concerning the trd sway bars some guy think was this forum or the other one. stated that he worked for a dealer down in texas. and his region has discontinued the front sway bar.

te51levin · 03-06-2009, 05:07 PM

The verdict is still out. TRD isn't telling us anything yet, or their reps don't know. it is incredibly frustrating when our customers know more about what they can get than we do

phantomMR2 · 03-07-2009, 03:59 PM

hey aaron did u ever get a quote for the front springs from trd???

te51levin · 03-07-2009, 05:46 PM

I've called TRD and left two or three messages about the front springs, but haven't heard anything back from them yet. As always, you can get very close to your cost by visiting the TRD Japan website and dividing the cost in Yen by 100. The springs show a 7000 Yen list price in Japan, so they will cost you close to $70 each:

MR2(SW20)

phantomMR2 · 03-08-2009, 04:18 PM

which ones should i get the hard or soft springs?? i dont know the difference of each.

te51levin · 03-10-2009, 02:29 PM

Soft, unless you're an absolute savage who never drives on rough roads or takes long trips.

PearlJammzz · 03-10-2009, 02:52 PM

Aren't the hard type discontinued? I thought they were...you able to buy both kinds?

Check the link. They don't look to be discontinued. The soft ones comprise the set of four sold in the US as PTR04-17900-10. If you want hard springs we'd have to special order them under the Japanese number from TRD.

Everything I quote you is discounted, dude. It's automatic. It's not because I "work wonders" getting a lower price from the people I buy from, but because I make a lower profit margin that most dealerships when I resell the parts to you all

.

I still can't get anyone at TRD to answer the phone, but as I mentioned, your cost will be right about $70 per spring, plus whatever it costs to ship it to you.
