Yea tc06trd, I'll take them off your hands if you plan on getting your new springs in the next week or 2.

ST Sway bars are adjustable in the rear for a standard and aggressive setting.

um TRD springs match up best to the TRD shocks/struts since they were kinda tested to work together.

if you lower it and add sways it will get very bumpy on ____ty roads but on smooth roads it glides nicely. ive tested my setup on tucson az streets and interstate and san diego area streets and highways big diff lol. planning on moving to san diego for the smooth roads HAHAHA. tein and eibach make great kits it all depends on ther person how low you want to drop it. the lower the drop the rougher the ride. i went with the TRD's for a little drop and to still have clearence on all the speed bumps here in tucson. ive had intrax with kyb adjustables on my supra and i would have to re-direct away from speedbumps cause i would get stuck LOL.

well you're gonna have to spend at least 500 for what you described...i'd recommend bumping your budget to 700 for the "corner on rails" part but thats up to you. k so you want a smooth ride....trd shocks from partznet.com will cost you 430 bucks. you want a drop...to be economical, buy some used springs. if you can wait a while til you can afford it though, i'd recommend h&r sport springs which can be had for 240 shipped from tirerack. you could also get hotchkis or trd springs for around 150 from partznet or trdsparks.com. lastly, you need sway bars. you can either go with hotchkis or progress. progress is simply one rear sway bar. hotchkis is a front (which is a POS to install) and a rear. Hotchkis is the best set available right now. progress is second best. pm me for more details. and if i blew your budget completely, which i most likely did, depends how long you're willing to wait and save up more money, then we can solve that out through PM. good luck

like donny said...springs will do a great amount for you. its just how much you're willing to spend for the amount of difference that you want. im also assuming that you're gonna install all of this stuff yourself....takin it somewhere else is gonna cost you bigtime.
