Default Spring help!!

Ok guys heres the deal. Im running on the trd springs i like the ride but after a while i just came to the agreement that it looks to high in the front for me. I want to go alil bit lower but not to the point of scraping. Cuz i have the injen ses axle back which let alone sits about 4- 3.5 inches off the ground all ready.

So i was wondering what you guys thought should i go with the tien htechs, hotchkis, or megans?

I'm on s techs, and right now, I have the tsudo N1 exhaust. This thing is huge, and i think I read somewhere that it hangs down the lowest? I have like 2.5" clearance on it I think. I only scrape it in construction zones where theres no other option but to scrape.
I think you'd be fine with any of those, but i'd go with h techs.

Just cut the springs


H techs. It wont be that much lower, but it just depends how much you wanna save your exhaust.

I was in the same situation. I had trd but I wanted to go lower so I went with h techs and it was the best decision I made. I'm at a finger gap in the front and barely two in the back

Htechs dop you farily even and the front is slightly lower than the back,I have HKS can on the back and it too is low to ground and no scraping so far.......you should be fine with Htechs.....even Hotchkis should be fine as well,stechs you are scraping speedbumps at times........
