For my scion, it will be a daily driver. I dont plan to ever track it. It will just be street driver, driving friends, etc. I want feel to be basically the same but I want the car a little lower. Just to throw it in there, I plan to keep the stock rims and sway bars. I dont wanna slam the car though, I want to improve handling a little and definitely not take any away. I was thinking either TRD shocks and struts but they are kind of $$$$.
So I was leaning towards eibach springs. AndTokico for shocks. I dont want anything adjustable b/c I wont be in need of that feature.

What do you guys recommend?

 

Why not just TRD springs with OEM struts?

 

yea go with OEM struts and TRD springs. that's what i did and i'm happy with my car being a daily driver and never going to track it.

 

Well dont the eibachs offer more of a drop. Plus I'm getting the shocks for saftey and peice of mind. Rather replace now instead of having a blown shock a month from now or a year from now.

 

i seen people go 80k+ miles with stock shocks and aftermarket springs. it'll be fine. i don't really want more of a drop for me cuz i'm in pot hole city.........already scraped my front bumper pretty bad on the bottom......lol and i drive 3 other adults in my car a lot of the time so i'm okay with TRD springs

 

I currently have the Eibach Pro-Kits with OEM shocks. Been running this setup for almost 3 years now. No problems at all. Suspension feels good, not too different from stock. I would recommend this for daily driving.

 

-i would say stick with springs, u dont' need struts/shocks all that much. Lots of people have just switched out springs and they are on OEM shocks. still running good. since the TRD isn't that much of a drop compared to other springs, this means less wear and tear on the OEM shock. and since thats all that your relaly looking for since its going to be a DD. no point in tossing more money at your car. oh yeah and the strut bar is seriously a cosmetic item, anyone can tell you that.

 

honestly just get some TRD springs or htechs,use the stock struts.......they will last for years on either of those drops,no need to waste money on new struts till they go out.

 

Get rear sway bar if you want to improve handling. My friend dropped front and rear sway bar onto his tC and man did it make a difference. Both his and my car run on springs but his handles a lot better at corners than mine since he dropped sway bars in
