    Nice. Some quick questions.

    Can you get just the struts alone and use the US TRD Springs? And is there a difference between the black and white TRD springs?

    Hey..to answer all the questions ..yes u may use the USA trd springs with the sportivo struts but i bought the whole set anyways because the Sportivo springs are stiffer and it looks good together with teh sportivo/strut combo..and as for the drop..it looks the same as my trd springs w/stock struts..but they havent settled yet...and man the ride quality is great and thers less body roll than the usa trd springs w/stock struts..i love it alot

    I don't see why not........the drop is pretty close to the sportivo springs. The only thing i'm not sure about is whether or not the strut design will allow springs other than the sportivos to be seated correctly. I'll see if my stock springs will fit on tomorrow for you.

    got my struts for $436 from my dealership............My parts guy gives me great deals though, and they take 6-12 weeks to arrive.
