I have been debating on which springs to get for a while now. My car is a daily driver and i do live in Michigan where the roads are not the best.

I'm also looking into getting the RS1 lip kit and enkei's 18" LM1 rims but that is going to be sometime in the future.

so my question is should stay safe and go with the TRD springs or go the Hotchkis way?
Any Suggestions??

 

Safe and go with TRD. Especially if you are adding a body kit or lip. If you were in an area with awesome roads I may say hotchkis. But as it is I sometimes scrap or have about 1/4 inch of clearance with my TRD's.

 

i say go with trd springs. i have the setup your wrote on ur subject.

 

I have the OEM lip kit, tein s-techs and 18's. Roads arent the best here in so cal either. Havent had a problem with rubbing or scraping, just gotta watch the driveways...

 

^ me too. i had to make a ramp so my car can enter the driveway.

 

thanks for the advice...

Dakine, do you know what your ground clearance is??

 

Since it's a daily driver, go with TRDs. Your ride won't suffer much and you can even use the stock struts for a while. A lower Spring (2"+ drop) will wear out your stock struts rather quickly and its best to change them when you install the lowering springs.
