you dont NEED them. but i suggest them. the ride will be really bouncy with just springs. The shocks will stiffen everything up nicely and the ride will be much nicer and the car will actually perform better. the stock shocks are going to blow out quickie. Think about it, say with the stock set up the shocks are designed to travel say 10in, your going to lower the car 2in which means the shocks are always going to have 2in of travel on them at all times. and with the bumpy ride its only a matter of time until they pop. Ask Zack, im pretty sure he ran into a similar issue. he lowered his car with just the springs and now his front shocks are shot. plus, one good bounce and your going to shred your rear tires, not cheap if your still planning to get 19s.

its gonna look like a 4x4 haha i see the RS1 tC with the TRD 18s and it looks like its ready to tackle the rock crawling course. if you ask me, zacks moms tC has the perfect stance. I believe its the TRD drop with some 18s. if ya go to low the rear wheel area looks funny...but this is just my opinon and its your car so you do what you want.

Thats kinda trippy when your mom's car is as hot or hotter than your own, lol. I dunno what I'm gonna do yet. I might just ride around looking like a 4x4 at this rate, heehee.
