That’s messed up! We can’t even get any credit for some vehicles that were on TEIN suspension!!! Lol, we’re just kidding. But, only partly.

There were a few projects we helped out on for this year’s SEMA show that went unnoticed. And that’s because the springs we custom made were paid for by Toyota’s Motorsports division, who were in charge of prepping their booth cars. In total, we made custom springs for 3 vehicles- 2015 Corolla, 2015 Avalon, and 2015 Highlander. Remember the post we made about custom made springs through our Specialized Damper Program? Those springs that were powdercoated red? Yeah, that one was specifically for the Highlander.

The red color was due to the fact that these cars were to have Toyota related parts, and that meant TRD red for the suspension bits. Since these cars were to be “TRD” modified, that means they are void of any other brand affiliation. So no TEIN decals for these show cars :'(

That was a fun little project for us. HOWEVER, these cars, and most of the Toyota Motorsport projects, tend to run a bit to the last minute. We were in such a time pinch to get the springs made by TEIN Japan. If that wasn’t already a problem, maybe the fact that TEIN Japan was closed for a week-long holiday, pushing our order request back even further!

Fortunately, after air freighting the springs over, we’re glad to have been a part of these project cars. Actually, I really like how those cars turned out, especially that Highlander!
