Default some noob questions, help appreciated.

so heres the story, i have an 07 Flint mica tC, currently i have stock wheels on it, have TRD shocks/struts and the lowering springs on it....however i was thinking of switching to coilovers...due to the fact that my car has a lean, to the left and to me its noticible and really bugs me, also ive orderd some stuff for my car while ive been deployed and im about to put it on once i get home, i orderd the Five Axis lip kit which is going to drop me a little more, but i also am ordering some new 18 inch Five Axis wheels so i was thinking of the coilovers due to the adjustable height...since i'm not quite sure how low my car will be with the kit, any thoughts? think i should just stay with the Lowering springs , even though theres the "gangsta" lean to the left as i call it...or be worth it to get some coilvers?

I wanna get coilovers too but don't know how often u have to adjust the rest of the suspension so that ur camber and toe is right.

But really I am as low as I can go without ripping my front lip right off and I am only dropped 2"s now.

Im running stechs with 18x8 wheels and I have the 5 axis kit on my car. here is a picture of how low it is. It isnt bad at all, no rubbing and as long as you are careful and drive like you are low you wont scrape often. You can spend the extra on coilovers and have the adjustability but most people dont need all that.

Man I wish they sold the parts seperately. I want the sides and rear to go with my RS1 front.

to be honest... the adjust-ability of coilovers isnt that significant... here is a pic of my tC on 18s with my coilovers on the highest setting we could get when adjusting them on the car (Tein SS-P)
