Has anyone managed to order the Toyota factory lowering springs yet? Looking to get my hands on the front and rear sets. Someone posted. Some on the Facebook page but the dealer I go to can't see them based off those numbers. Hoping someone here has the actual part numbers that will pull up on their parts catalog.

Lowering springs

From what I gather those specs are generally safe from rubbing. It's 265 that concerns me.

Anyone on H&R springs?
I noticed they are one of the only sets that lowers the front more than the rear, Front: 1.2" Rear:1.0"
Most lower the rear a bit more, or the same as the front.
About to order these for a new car, and wanted to see if anyone had pics, since they seem hard to come by.

Installed the H&R springs this weekend, and I'm liking the drop so far. the rear is a little bit higher than the Eibach Pro Kit I had on my past car.
Ride doesn't feel much different than stock, maybe a bit stiffer, but nothing jarring from stock. The H&R springs are linear and not progressive like Eibach's so they don't feel as compliant at low speeds.
No weird noises or popping. One thing I'd recommend is not tightening the top strut bolts all the way until the car is on the ground to prevent the top hat from misaligning with the angled upper seat, learned this from my past with the Eibach kit.
Was surprised to see that the rear stock springs are now progressive. Overall, I'm very happy with the new springs, and like that there is a slight rake with the front lowering to 1.2' and the rear at 1'
Also, I'm officially too old to be doing spring installs on the ground, lol

Looks great with the white wheels, no just remove the roof bars and it will look perfect!

They'll be going back on since they only came off for the roof to be wrapped.
Still happy with the H&R Springs

That looks so much cleaner without them on. I just think they look silly if they aren't being used as they ruin the lines of the car. I have white wheels on my 89 Supercharged MR2 and I love the white on white look too. The first white wheels I had though were a different shade of white and I hated it. These wheels I had powder coated to match the car shade of white.![Image]()

I had them. Not worth the money. Rear had .5" drop, fronts were almost the same as stock. A bit stiffer, but that could just be how new they were. Went to Swift, then RSR.
How do you like the RSR?? It was between them swift and H&R. I got the RSR but the box is in my garage right now 😅

Seems like a good option for staying in stock class for autocross.
I don't want any more than 1/2" drop. I think that would be perfect TBH.
My son rode with a guy on a 2024 Corolla GR with Swift Spec R springs(1.3" drop front and back) and it rode like crap at the road course. Most of the problem is because this guy put 15mm spacers. He said 15mm but looked to me like 20mm, plus he went with one size bigger tires and the front tires were rubbing baaaaaddd on turns. The car looked sharp when it was parked but rode horrible. He insisted that without the spacers it wouldn't rub but after seeing the car I am more inclined for a more discrete drop.

So you said they are linear. So when the fronts are lowered, no coils are touching?

If you don't get bigger tires or spacers, swifts are perfect. I have them
