X2! Whatever springs your considering your offset and tire size is what's gonna effect whether you rub or not

 

Since you are already on TRD springs which you are safe from scraping, rubbing and rougher ride I would say get a lip first and you will look more lower. Your wheels are 18x8 , if you go really low, you will have more problems on front rubbing the inner plastic liner than the rear which the rear fender can be rolled.

 

The factory 18's are 18x7.5 not 18x8.

 

why dont u just get coilovers? that way u can adjust it to whatever height setting you want

 

my car is on tein SS-P theres a pic in my profile thats the stock height. ill try and get more pics up if i can find the time

 

I've got the TEIN S-Techs, looks great and don't rub with stock 17" wheels. I give them an A+++.

 

are they? ooops my bad. 0.5 difference.

 

i have oem ground effects

old pic


I actually just want to close the wheel gap about another 1" in the front and .5" in the rear? is it possible?

 

oh I see, yeah that's possible but coilovers will be your best bet so you can adjust your height lower while avoiding too much rubbing.. sure you can go with hotchkis or H-techs you should be happy with the drop but you might rub.. but as I said if you rub in the rear you can have your fenders rolled, if you rub in front there's nothing much you can do cause its the plastic liner where you rub not the fender.. get coils if you have money to spend.

And I noticed fronts are higher with trds, I guess they have purpose for that.. My old springs are like that too and I thought it looks retard (i used to have cheap as$ springs) but yeah I realized its serves a purpose.
