Ive been looking at everyone pics and info on suspension and i want to drop my tc between 1.4 to 1.8 . I have 225/35/18 with a 35 offset i just dont want my rim or tire to rub against the springs so i need a little advice here. I want an even drop and i saw progress drops 1.8 Eibach drops your car 1.4 and trd's drop it about 1.25. my question is what is the best combination for shocks and springs because id rather do it all the first time and makes sure it get it right. please all feedback would be appreciated.

 

well of course I'll vote for hotchkis just because I have them. I would also look into tein htechs. Its a nice drop all around and with the setup that you want with the offset, it might be better for you.

 

trd or hotchkis

 

h-techs

 

with the wheels you have now why not go with coilovers ? you can adjust them to what you want. But if not go with trd all around springs and shocks/struts

 

B&G Coilovers FTW

 

thanks for the replies......should i keep my stock shocks?

 

^^If you with TRD Springs, yes. It's a subtle drop (1.25").

lol x3

 

Tein H-Techs and Tokico HP struts/shocks would go together nicely

 

I have Hotchkis springs and TRD shocks and I love driving my car, but Hotchkis drops about 1.75" and I slightly regret having such a low drop. But other than worrying about all the scratching it feels great.

 

Does anyone have the TRD springs and stock shocks?? I really would like to know if ANY scrubbing hapens at all over speed bumps or inclines..

 

this is the same setup I am looking at getting. It seems like it will be the best for ride quality and will look good.

The tokico shocks/struts seem to be the best choice. The Koni's you have to modify. I don't know much about the TRD's however.

I think the H techs are a good drop that are not too low and IMO look the best. I have read that the TRD have issues with being even and sagging in the back over time.

 

What about the Tanabe NF210s? 1.1" front and 1.7" rear

 

slam it on coilovers. then when it turns into a mega rattle box in a couple years, sell it.

 

x2. you wont be dissapointed with the Tokico HP/H-Tech combo.

 

I run H-techs. Nice smooth ride. Gives it a little of an aggressive stance by slanting foward a little bit. They run fine with the stock shocks, but if you have the money, by all means go aftermarket shocks like said above ^^
