ok well my budget would be 300-500 dollars. 500 is pushing it thouhg. so yea i do want a better ride but then again i wouldnt mind dropping it. i still would need enough room to do speedbumps and stuff. i also would like etter handling. what u think??

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

Hmm I bought some TRD springs...sitting on stock shocks...sweet and smooth ride. Definatley noticed that it handled different...I recommend that. and if u can install it urself then it will only cost u $150...

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.
