I'm in from upstate NY. If I can lower my ride here then I'm sure you can in PA. It's all about knowing how to drive in the conditions. Wheels look nice btw.

Looks good. At least look into a TRD drop. It's subtle but makes the tC look a lot more aggressive than stock.

I like it. Nice.
Does your tC vanish when it enters the corn fields? Why not just build a baseball field.

I have to say, they live up to all the hype lol, they grip VERY well in the rain, and I don't hydroplane anymore.

^^ yeah crazy that the hype was right.. lol

just dont forget to rotate them around 3000 miles. That prolongs the life. Toyo has a warranty that says to rotate them before 3500 miles. Makes sense. okay enjoy!

I'm in PA and on TRD's and I absolutely love them! I actually used to have an Eibach Prokit back when I was driving an Eclipse Gs-T and they were even lower. Would look great, as your new wheels are very nice!

Nice!!

And I hear ya about the no drop in PA thing. Used to live there. Roads were horrible.

TRD drop would most likely work though.

But if you have other priorities then go for it!
