Default Kaminari + Springs ( S-Tech?)

Hey guys, I was wondering those of you who have the kaminari kit installed..what springs are you guys using, and your experience so far with them as far as scraping the KIT itself? thanks

edit: i have the s-techs just sitting here debating whether to install or swap for trd's

the S.techs are really not that low. sometimes i woud try and see if i can scratch and 95% of the time i dont.

maybe thats because i live in CA where the roads are better but who knows

I have the S-techs with the Kaminari kit and I have no scrapping what-so-ever with normal everyday driving.

Like Skippy said, the S techs really arent that low. I'd actually like to go lower, but gotta save up for the coilovers.

I only have H&R springs (1.4" drop) with 18x8 235/40/18 tires. I scrape about once a week and have the marks underneath the front bumper to prove it. You like about 20 minutes from me so I know the roads are just as bad. I'd make your life easier and stay with either H-techs, TRD, H&R, or something with a similar drop. I can show u the underside if you want haha

For some reason when my trd suspencsion was installed i got a 1.8" drop, so u can see scrapes all over mine. Even worse since my mom drives the car sometimes. I guess they did a lil extra cuz of my 18" diablos
