Tanabes are the lowest springs i think. (2.0 in front, 2.2 in back) Goldlines are 2.0 inches all the way around. Now coilovers are going to be lower of course but there is HKS, TEIN, or others and i think get good amount past 3 inch drop.

I thought tanabes were 2.2 in front and 2 in back?

Yeah, from robears site:

I've driven a xB with DF210'S and it was stiff, not too bouncy at normal speeds, very simliar to Teins, IMO

I'm on Tein s-techs which are great springs too but just a tad smaller drop (not as low) but very cloe looks wise to the Tanabe's (a far as the look of the stance goes)

if I had to choose either Tanabe's, Teins or Goldines...

technically yes. well kind of. they would void any suspension warranty claim if it was proved that the springs are what caused the problem

it depends on if your dealer is an _______ or not, my dealer slapped mine on for $60, real cool place, I know that even if I had 19" rims they would still cover what thats suppose to void. maybe if cause I'm friends with the owner, who knows :lol: . Ellen stillwell at Casey Toyota/scion Williamsburg, is the ____

The lowest set of springs out there would have to be the first gen of SPY'S. The first gen came out last year around july and dropped the car about 2.5 all the way around, the second gen was raised to 2inch drop all the way around. Scion life member "Da 1st" has them. :D

any wheel or suspenson shouldn't void anything! if your concern or your dealer is giving you crap talk to SEMA. they'll tell you what you can do. your dealer has rights as so does the aftermarket. the only warranty i can see voiding with the springs anyway is the actual spring warranty, but depending on your dealer and your knowledge of the aftermarket rules and such. Dealers will be quick to blame mods to void warranty. Ford tried to tell me that "my transmission failed because of my racing intake system" that was a load of BS. they replaced my trans no charge warranty. i just bought a clutch and flywheel

Does anyone know if a 2inch drop will cause tow-in on the rear wheels? Would i need a camber kit? If I drop it i want everything to work like it is supposed to, I don't want to buy a new set of rear tires every 5,000 miles. :?:

they have dremel,s hacksaws and jig saws for a reason..
if u wanted to really go low and not spend a lot..
just buy the cheapest springs u can find.. and cut them 1/2 a coil
if theres enough room or spring to do so..

cuz if u buy somehting like ground controls, they're not even that safe anyways.
might as well just be safe and not safe..

as for tananbe df210's.. i persoanlly thought that they needa be another 1/3" llower
to be PERFECT. but they were very good springs, treated me super good
