that sounds like the front will dip lower than the rear because even with equal drop it looks like it already.

It evens it out pretty well. The factory suspension has the front end a little higher than the rear.

thats what I thought too but remember our rear fenders arch is smaller than the front, I've tried two springs TRD and INTRAX and they created a CALI type drop look. Front lower and rear higher, my car is a good example. You cannot compare the factory springs with aftermarket because they are not the same in terms of spring rate or height in that matter. 240s are another great example, the rears have to be lowered more than the front because its not the gap people look at, its the level of the cars body.

got tanabes just installed on my car not too long ago and they ride really nice, now im shopping for rims, sorry to jack your thread, but will 17x8 with 15 offset sit flush with the fender? or will it still look sucked in as opposed to be ligned up with the fender???

I have megan springs on mine. It drops pretty low esp with the 15 inch stock rims. My gap is approx 3 in front and 1 1/2 in back. Although Id like to go lower, it scrapes a lot. I had ground control before and I tucked my tires under the fender. It scraped like no tomorrow. Megan springs ride nice. Very clean cut and stable ride.

wow thanks.
that's not as low as i hoped it be tho.
might have to go with ground-controls

[trdproven]

Looks like stock still Scott. Go lower Promasta. Go with full coilovers or Intrax. Best to have 1 finger gap or slightly none. Our cars are so damn high.

Mine´s little bit lowered but it´s sometimes hardcore on our roads here in Czech Republic, mainly after winter there´s lot of holes everywhere .. :-(
