I am currently looking for the best complete lowering kit. I want one that is good and solid, but not too costly. Does anyone have one that they love and would refer to a friend?

What is the name of the kit and how much will it set me back?

EDIT:

Didn't realize this was a tC thread. In that case, i would recommend the s-techs.

If I were you I'd stick with the TRD stuff. Currently I'm having "Issues" with my stuff.

well the kits is just the Hotckis Lowering Springs which u can get from TRDsparks of MCGeorge

here my car with them on

Theres alot of threads with pictures of cars with Tein S-techs. You can usually find them on ebay or houseofscion.com or any other place that sells aftermarket stuff for Tc. They'll run for 150 or lower. Really nice drop.

I'd go with Hotchkis or S-techs... S-techs are a bit rougher i would think. I have Hotchkis myself and i love them

chubster41,
I like the drop on your car. I was looking at dropping my car but I'm afraid that once I lower it I won't have enough clearance to drive down into my parking garage and I will scrap up my ground effects kit. How much clearance do you have?

your best bet would be to check out either one of these threads.

Hotchkis! It makes the tC look sooo sexy! Here's some pics of mine!



I wish Hotchkis made some shocks, i would jump on those! You wont go wrong with Hotchkis Springs, their the only springs out for the tC that evens the car out! 1.7"F, 1.97"R....no rubbing, no scrapping, no overlapping the wheel.

150% agree with you there^^^

i love my hotchkiss springs, the drop is perfect and the ride is great too.

although i will be replaceing them with a decent coilover set up this summer (possibly) i just go the springs to hold me over (plus im getting rims soon and we all know that the drop makes it look 100 times better then 18s on stock height)

yea no sh*t, when i got the Enkei's on it looked like i was going off-roading!

I think im leaning to Progress coilovers? But IDK? I havent even looked at prices?

I just ordered the TRD shocks and springs, so I hope those turn out good for me. After reading it seems like youll need shocks too after a few months so might as well do it right the first time.

with a minimal drop TRD springs have, shocks arnt needed. i think my shocks will be toast after about 20-30k miles though. I have new shocks.. might as well use what you payed for.
