I would say to spend the extra 10-20 bucks to get the name brand like Tein. There's plenty of Tein S-tech springs on ebay for about 130 shipped

not to adverise, but i would think that their products would actually be decent after browsing through their decent web site

NETAMI USA

is it really wise to go with lowering springs on stock struts??

answer: if your stocks are fine then your good, if they are worn then replace them....

and say you needed to raise your car back up for winter

answer: springs arn't for you look into coilovers

are you better off with those TRD springs?

answer: no better off then any other spring except you'll probably pay more.....

is 2" drop over kill for stock rims...and wat if i wanna get 17" or 18" would they rub with the 2" drop?

ive tried many suspension setups. First was eibach sportline, which did the job on the stock shocks and gr-2s after, but didnt achieve the lowering height i wanted. I switched to tein s-tech when they first came out and the drop was 1.2 which was crap when i put on my stock tires. It was a bit stiff on the gr-2's. After a while i switched to JIC SA's which sagged on me, but gave me a noticeable difference in ride height. The ride quality came very close to stock quality. in the end, i am currently using the gc setup with the gr-2's which with bushings, did improve my ride more than ever. Its smooth, yet u can still tell taht your in a toyota and not a mercedes. If anyone has any further questions, feel free to PM me. BTW im looking for someone to trade my ground controls for intrax sports. PM if interested. Thanks

i like my sprint springs which are a good 1.5" drop, with 17s theres barely any gap.

I dunno about coil overs. I heard bad things about em because most people dont use proper set-ups and they just use the coil overs. I think im gonna go with intrax springs and go for as close to 2 in as possible. I can always heat em up to compress em if i wana go lower. Prolly go with kyb shocks

heating is very very bad...makes your ride increditably horrible

Not to mention that if you dont heat each one up the same then you will have different heights on all 4.
