So im getting some new KYB struts and I was thinking of replacing my coil springs, they look ok from what i can see but I'd rather get new ones, my issue is I don't want to lower my car at least not significantly. Anyone know of any springs that are either the same as stock or have at least a very slight drop, I'm not a true fan of dropped cars

Your stock springs should be fine. You could get TRD springs which would lower it no less than an inch, but I think those aren't available anymore. The only other way to retain stock height would be to get coilovers and raise them to stock height.
But your stock springs should be fine. |

Don't forget to replace the spring seat insulators, as well as the strut mounts when you replace the struts. You'll also likely need to replace the boots, stabilizer bar end links, and possibly the bump stops (though those are often integrated into aftermarket boots).

OEM coils will last the life of the car if not longer, i've never heard of a stock spring going bad unless someone alters it. You could always clean them up with a fresh coat of paint if you want them to look nice.
Most aftermarket springs will lower your car, a few to speak are; Eibach, Tien, TRD and Meagan Racing. They range from a 0.8" - 2.0" drop. |
