Default lower front than rear

I have TRD spring and curious if I can drop the front wheel a little more to get a more aggressive pose. I could get HR or Tanabe for the front and TRD for the rear. Will I have any problems with this set up ? Please let me know before I invest the $$$ in it.

If you mean getting H&R or Tanabe springs in the front and leaving the TRDs in the back, I wouldn't recomend it due to unmatched spring rates, and types for that matter.
However, I think I saw one guy on here with Hotchkis up front and TRDs in the back.
When I switched from TRD to Hotchkis, I did the first one weekend and drove like that for a week.
I liked the way they looked, but when I put the Hotchkis on the back, it fealt so much better.
If your willing to get new springs, might as well get a set that drop more in the front then the rear, like either of the Tien sets.

Why don't you just go w/ Tein basics? you'll have matched spring rates, and they're ride height adjustable.

There are quite a few sets of springs out there that DO lower the front more than the rear. Don't bother mixing/matching differen't companies.

I highly recommend the Tein H-Techs. I think they will give you the look your are going for...and I also wouldnt suggest mixing and matching springs.

bah, h-tech's.

get the stech's instead. There's about a 1/2 inch difference in height between the front and rear when dropped on stech's. it'll give the leaning forward stance you're looking for.

Yeah, I'd go with the S-Techs if you want that rake.
