if you got the cash, get coilovers! better on the long run! TEIN basics will be good <---so ive heard?


Or go Hotchkis springs with Koni shocks!
Fabolous drop with no scraping or rubbing!

around $7-800 and some camber links would be good so your rear tires wont be having too much neg camber back there! Search around to see the prices!

If you are interested in a nice upgrade that can handle some hard driving but is great for daily driving than you cant do much better than the TRD shock/spring combo. Ive had mine on for about 6 months and have nothing but good things to say about it. Ive done everything from road trips to track days and it hasnt let me down. Some people think it isnt low enough but I think its perfect. TRDsparks and McGeorge offer some really nice package deals for the shocks and springs and even some that include sway bars so you might want to check those out to get the most for your dollar.

if you are looking for comfort and a good stance i would either just get the trd springs or the tein h-tech springs. Basics are pretty stiff.
