As with Chris's, the pics were taken not long after the springs had been put on, they do settle down further after a few hundred miles. They do fill the arches in nicely without the loss of ride comfort. Front im ok with, the back i would have liked it to have been be a little lower

Are TTE ARBs still readily available from Lexus dealers? I was under the impression that they have been discontinued, or did I mix up TTE with TRD? If so how much are TTE ARBs?

Matt if anything i felt an improvement in ride quality after putting these springs on (apart from when going over big potholes that is!!)
