is there a way to lower my tc only about an inch or so for looks but also a little better handeling and ride

 

TRD lowering springs

 

TRD will drop you over an inch once they've settled. But yea, I think TRD is the best route for you.

 

will lowering the car with the trd springs comply with the stock strutsd and shocks? because i dont want any warranty problems. thanks for the info.

 

so all i will have to do is change out the springs

 

I have TRD, it drops it about 1.25". I've had them for like 10k now. Didn't change anything else but got camber kit cuz my tire was gone...i did alignment too. the ride is good. and it looks lowered until you park next to other tCs with goldline, B&G etc...

 

yup trds are really nice i juss got mines last week and i loved the drop.....i went from a four finger gap to basically a one finger gap....the ride is beautiful and i live in nyc...picture that

 

TRDs are what you're looking for. I don't know of any other springs for the tC that wouldn't lower you as much as the TRDs.
