    I have ground effects on my TC. Makes the car look real nice. Plus, when you put the TRD springs on it makes it seem lower then it seems.

    With ground effects and TRDs, how much ground clearance is left? I really like the look of the ground effects, but I'm leery that there wouldn't be enough clearance for everyday encounters like curbs or poorly made speed bumps.

    it'll still be good clearance. my car still sits higher than the RSX. TRD eliminates that ugly wheel gap and still provides enough ground clearance.

    The rear is actually a two-piece. One long piece for the left side of the muffler tip and a small piece for the right side of the muffler tip

    I got the ground effects kit and the TRD springs, but instead of the usual 2" drop I started with a 1" drop. The dealer told me that it might be a little close to the ground with ground fx and a 2" drop.

    :side note: Does anyone know if you need a camber kit if you ONLY have the TRD springs put on from the dealer w/out the struts or anything else? Just curious because I'm still new to Scion world. I know i had to have a good camber kit for my civic, but it was lowered like 3 1/2 inches.

    I'm actually pickin' up my new Tc this weekend. It's been on order, so I haven't actually seen how low it is yet.
