Default How is the " " set-up?

Anyone have the Tein-S springs w/ the Trd Struts(shocks) set-up? A heads up would be much appreiciated. Looking for a very comfortable/Great handling/Nice drop kinda deal, if u will.

Post pictures also if you do have this set-up.

Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for comfort, I wouldn't go with S-Techs. I'd go with H-Techs...

If you want handling, I wouldnt go with the s techs either. WAY too low for this cars geometry. The H-techs are too low and have too low of spring rate for the drop as well, but at least are better than s-techs. And you either want it to handle its best, or ride smooth.. you arent going to do both. Lowering and handling need higher spring rates, meaning a rougher ride. Anyone who says they dropped it and it rides as smooth as stock has a crappy set of springs that dont handle well.

If you really care about handling and streetability, get the TRD springs and struts. Great setup that doesnt over-lower the car like most do.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, I totally understand that the TRD's are known for having the best handling and performance. But on the other hand, they look a tad to close to the stock height. I'm looking for a little lower with the same quality. Keep those suggestions comming. :D

^ i have progress springs with trd struts/shocks. its a lil bit lower then TRDs, they are good for handling and make the car look like it has a nice drop.
