I've been running the numbers and it is a no brainer for me to trade in my TC and get a new one. The main reason I am doing this is to get fresh paint so that I can Clear Bra it day one. But here's my questions & comments for reaction -

My current TC has the Springs and Rear Sway and it's pretty good in height and roll resistance. I do wish it had more roll resistance though and maybe even less yaw. What should I do differently this time around? I was thinking of a few options, help me choose.

1. TRD Springs, Hotchkis Front & Rear Sways
2. TRD Springs, Shocks, Hotchkis Front & Rear Sways
3. Tein Coilovers or some other Coilover (got a fav?)

My concern with the coilovers is that I read they drop ~1.4 at the minimum, which is getting down there a bit more then I want. I am going to be running the factory body kit on this next car, so how far it's off the ground is very important. Also if there is other options you think would be better, let me know... different shocks, springs, or sways I have not talked about here.

Thanks!

#2 if you are worried about the coilovers

Right now I am leaning towards #2 and then later adding the Front and Rear strut tower bars.

Anyone else got some comments?

Does anyone know of some adjustable shocks? I would rather have adjustables then the TRD Shocks. Please reply ASAP. I am trading in my car shortly and need to order up a ton of items for it.

Thanks.

1.4 quite frankly is not that low. I have Tein H-techs and they provide a perfect drop in front. And it's lower than 1.4. Factory body on, and never scrape anything.

Go with #3, if you really are afraid of going to low you can always buy bigger rims :P
