Hey dude. Try just starting out with the TRD lowering springs. I don't know what the roads are like where you live but lower springs tend to make it easier to scrape the undercarriage. (Although plenty of folks will tell you that's not true too).

You can slam your ride with B&G coils, im sure you can find a ride height that works for you within their ride height range.

Are you going just for aesthetics, performance or both?

sorry man but that is quite possibly the worst advice you could give this kid.

he clearly asked for coils and you're telling him to start off with TuRD springs which would offer him sh_t.

waste of money for no reason.

OP just save your money and if low is your goal then start looking around for the best fitting coilover system for you. Forget TRD springs cause those things will barely drop you 1.25"

Technically this thread should get locked since this matter has been discussed millions of times.
He's asking about coils though

I'm not trying to start an argument or be a douche to the guy that replied him, but what he offered him is nowhere near the OP's question.

Just try to search, man.
I haven't really seen anyone on here rocking German made coils on their tC.
There's tons of threads, enjoy reading.
