Default which lowering springs

Im thinking of lowering my car next and I was wondering which springs i should get. I want to lower it between 2-2.5 inches. I heard H&R is a good company, if any of you guys have your cars lowered around 2 inches or have H&R springs. Some info or tips would be helpful, thanks.

My boy just dropped his tC on Goldline springs and is running 19's! Hasnt rubbed yet, and handles nice. Goldline gives a 2" drop front and rear! Good price too! I even have them on my xb and i love them! Its the exact same setup as this one.



From the rims to the tires to the springs! He has a twin! Except that my boys is Black!lol Alex thanks man!

They look like these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43959

But going to the AXIS site - I dont see the same exact ones...similar but not exact although they look like the ones in the pic there. Aren't tCs also 5x110? - Ebay ones look like a good deal.

the factoy shocks on the tc are actually holding up pretty nice... and my drop is probably the lowest out there.... when i had the factory tires on i had a smooth ride, since i moved to the lo pros the the ride has been a lil rougher....

Default springs

goldline is an okay spring. i wouldnt recommend sprints,and im actually not fond of the Tein S-tec, its not a good sport spring. it was machined for cost effectiveness and looks. not ride quality or performance. stick with TRD. they were made by eibach. cant go wrong there.

is that so? i've only heard good things about the tein s-tech's, at least when it comes to ride quality.

Sprints sag too much in the back.. and i am scarping on anything imaginable.
Will the goldline's have a higher clearance all around than springs?

Where can i purchase these goldlines for 150 shippped?

I haven't had any experience with lowering springs before, so I need some good advice. Are there any lowering springs in the market that can lower your tc AND make the ride better than if you stuck with the stock springs? I would like to lower my tc a little bit, but would like the ride to be smoother as well. Was thinking of getting the TRD springs but I'm not sure exactly how that would improve/stiffen the ride.
