Thats what I'm about to do and I'm nervous that it will look ____ty and I wont get 17s or 18's for a month or so.
How much will the TRD stuff change the way it rides?

I did a 2" drop with goldline springs back in January and I'm still on the stock steelies. For me, the drop was the cheapest mod with the highest impact. The way I see it when I can afford new shoes I can have them set next to the car and get a pretty good visual of how they'll look. The ride is about the same as stock, some say smoother. Just do it!!! :)

I dropped my car the first day I brought it home on the steelies. I got my wheels 3 days later. No problems here.

I'm dropping the wife's 1" with no wheels for a while. both the xA and xB need at least a 1" just to look stock :)

I've been running on the goldlines and stock wheels for a couple month's now. It's as good a place to start as any.

I'd recommend doing it in steps so you can feel the difference of each mod...

I'm going to get my rims first. I got such a deal I couldn't turn it down, and, I have no frigging idea which springs I want yet. So, when I post pics of my rims I don't wanna hear, "Where's the flood?", and "Cool 4x4." :roll:

Bought and Dubbed with 7 miles on the box!!

Yeas, that's right, had 7 miles and dubbed with TIS 20"s !
Within a week dropped it 2"s with Eibach's. Big Tiime Rubbing. Changed springs to TRD 1" drops and it's smooth operator and doing just fine. (Don't just drop it - Dub it!)
