Default Will trd struts lower my car. Good brand of Coilovers???

I am looking to SLAM my tC. I already have trd springs and I was wondering if adding the struts would also decrease ride height, as I was at a show last weekend and saw a tc with trd springs/struts and it looked way lower than mine. Also if not, does anyone know of any good springs or coilovers that will provide a MASSIVE drop for my tC. I want it to be as low as possible. Thanks.

coilovers will do the trick if you want to "slam" it? Although it wont be good on the coilovers? IMHO, it wouldnt look good.

Air bags for a total slam...

I think TRD springs are the most non-slam-oriented lowering device you could have gone with. The shocks won't alter your ride height. Low springs would be Tein S-techs, otherwise you're looking at coilovers or airbags.

struts won't lower your car any.
Any set of coilovers should allow you to get your wheels tucked, not that you would really want to drive around like that.

Megan Coilovers...

They are made by the same manufactuer as HKS, APEX-i etc... Just anodized different colors, for each company.

Chew on that.

if you want cheap, go with basics (i love mine) if you want damper and have a little more cash, go with megans (what i would've done if they were out).

I'm a little biased, but I'd stay away from coilovers branded by companies that are not dedicated to only making suspension parts and outsource to a manufacturer ( http://www.bcec.com.tw/ ) that make the same coilover for a dozen different companies. I wouldn't spend my money on any brands other than TEIN, H&R (which I own), Progress, or KW; they build and test suspension parts and that's all they do.

I wouldn't go with Megan specifically because of how terrible thier lowing springs are.
I really like the H&Rs, but they don't have adjustable shocks. Just Height.
