I have been researching the crap out of springs...looked at TONS of pics...read lots of reviews and checked out tons of sites for prices. Here's what I have concluded:

I am going to get the Tokico Struts/Shocks w/ the KSport GT Lowering Springs. They are a 2" Front 1.75" Rear drop which I think will be the best of both worlds (performance and looks). This car is my daily driver and I do NOT race it in any way. I just want something that will make it more "sporty" on interstate ramps and twisty roads and also reduce the hideous wheel gap. I don't want to go as low as the Tein S-Techs so those are out of the question for me. I can get the 4 Tokicos for $345 and the KSports for $135 making a total of $480 for everything shipped. I believe this is a pretty damn good deal for 4 struts and springs.

My question is simply..What do you all think? This a good setup? Any other recommendations? And I would really appreciate a reason with and other recommendations (like why you would go w/ those over the KSports).

FINALLY....Does anyone have any pics of the KSPORT springs (not coilovers) on stock 17's?

Thanks guys!

 

i hear tokico struts are the best with progress springs which is a 1.8" drop all-around. not alot of people have ksports on here.

 

H&R and Tokicos are also popular and rated pretty well. A similar drop to the Ksports would be the H&R Race springs which is 2.0 Front, 1.6 Rear.
I think the drop would look pretty good though with Ksports being that the rear is dropped a little more.

 

save up a couple hundred more dollars and invest in some used coilovers.. ride height adjustable, as well as dampening, and springs stiffness, and camber(if you get camber plates)

 

I do not have any need for being able to adjust my suspension so coilovers would be a waste of money for me......plus I refuse to put used suspension components on my car which would probably be older than my car itself (I have a 200.

 

I just did TRD springs/shocks and rear sway and it handles amazing now and I think it looks really good now too. IMO dropping too much looks weird on the tC

 

wierd? the lower the better looking fersureee. wheeel gap is lame my friend.

 

agreed^

dude you said it yourself, you have done tones of research and if you feel comfortable with your decision's then go for it.

 

Tucking on our stock wheels imo doesn't look good but with the setup you have, you should have a clean gap that isn't too high or low.

 

I was also lookin at the tokico HP struts but i was gonna combo it with the tokico springs and my second choice was the TRD struts and springs with hotchkis front and rear sway bar. Instead of power i wanted to go for handling first as well.

Heres a link with tokico hp struts and vogland lowering springs.
