    i read something that said the trd springs arent compatible with the stock 15s. so i held off on buying until i could confirm or reject the claim since im too broke now to buy bigger wheels.

    The H&Rs weren't compatible? I haven't heard that but it was said, that's not the case as I have no issues with them.

    I am running the TRD springs with the stock 15s and they are fine.

    However I do hit the RSB on speedbumps. I suspect this may not be an issue with the 17s.

    I found that site about a week ago when I was looking for the OEM all-weather cargo mat.. After reading some stuff on this site, I decided to not get it after all, but I also noticed the great deals they have on other things.. I still haven't ordered them myself, but I'm sure I will..

    you needed to special order the plus package. its a port install. And its a $4k ($3K invoice) upgrade. That is hard sell to any dealership with that package.

    It's cheaper if you buy it in parts, and this way you can skip stuff you don't want.. I just ordered the springs, and getting different wheels.. The body kit is next.. Not sure I'll order the mats.. Still can't find the part number for the badge, though.. I think I'm also skipping the bar.. Just don't see this car needing it..

    The sway bar is very important...I makes the car handle soo much better. Wait for the wheels, put the bar on.
