Default Should I Lower? Will TRD Springs make my 18's Rub?

Thank you to the last poster in my other post. I will stick to my 35 offesets without worry. If it rubs a little, how often and when? As I was saying, the guys from Goodyear who put on my new wheels said if you like the idea of bottoming out every time you hit a pothole, then go right ahead... I trust you guys more than them. Just two questions that I have, how much should this entire job cost (reasonable)?
And how much drop can I expect? Oh, one more... Do you think this car should have a spoiler?

Thanks.

spoilers are ____, you likely will not rub and if you do it will be under heavy, heavy suspension load such as turning to the point of traction loss or large bumps, you can expect a drop based on THESE numbers, and a good price would be anything under $200, but as the other guy said, post in the Regional section for where you live to see if anyone can install it for you for dinner and some beer, heck, maybe you'll even gain a friend

BTW you said "just two questions" and threw a third on on there... that's Bait&Switch tactics right 'der

BTW, you really should learn how to put on your own wheels, what do you do if you get a flat? Call AAA? Come on now, that's your car we're talking about, don't let just any grease-monkey at a shop touch it with their grubby fingers

did I forget to mention the sense of accomplishment? Maybe you just might learn somethin' along the way too...

you won't rub, and it will look reallllly good. just take it easy on speed bumps/drive ways, any inclines/dips.

Don't forget some of the "technicians" throwing on your lug nuts any which way with impact wrenches
