Suspension setup idea
I have a idea....I think it might work.
I want to get a Eibach Sportline lowering springs with Hotchkis sway bar set (front/rear), TRD strut set...I want to kinda keep the stock ride height, so I am thinking maybe 2 inch coil spacers for the coils all around...and a front strut tie down bar.
Also...stickier tires. Who has really good sticky tires and how much were they a tire...and what size? I have 17's, and I like them, so I want to keep the 17' size....also alot wider tires to handle the ground.
Anyone think this suspension setup will hold right to the ground?
Does anyone here have a setup that holds right to the ground?
Thanks guys.

So um... why would you buy lowering springs if you want to keep the same ride height? I realize they're usually stiffer than stock springs, but you might want to just go with some adjustable coilovers or something that would keep close to a stock ride height.
Because the springs are alotttttttt stiffer then the stock ones...I might keep her a littler bit lower...maybe drop it a inch total, so 1 inch spacers all around.
I need ground clearance where I live..too many rocks lol.

If you're thinking of maybe dropping it a little... I'd say go with the TRD (1.25" f/r) or H&R Sport (1.4"/1.3" f/r) springs and not bother with an spacers.
Ground clearance for rocks? Where the hell do you live?

Well like ack said....go with TRDs if you only want a 1 inch drop and don't bother with spacers because they just add extra weight and only for looks. Sways would be a great idea and stickier tires for sure. If you keep the stockies then I would suggest you go with 225. Front strut bar is only for looks....you don't really benefit from it.
I just want to be able to go alot more faster on some corners around here...Also, I live in Vermont where there is a ton of sharp turns and rocky backroads, so I cant really drop her any just cuz of all the rocks/ditches lol.
EDIT: Also, I am not in it for the drop to make it look alot better, way more into it for performance because i want to be able to handle most corners around here going 110 then the usual 50-60. 110 is a exaggeration by the way, but you get my point and my reason for not really wanting to lose a couple of inches.
