Default Wanting reccomendations for my ideal setup...

My next mod will be a lowered suspension. However I live in MN, and this car is my daily driver. This means I really dont want a snow plow in the winter time.

However, I want to lower it so there isnt as much wheel well showing on my stock tires and rims. I was thinking of having the back end subtely higher than the front. Anyone have any reccomendations of what I need to do? I have a completely stock suspension. Not even TRD stuff.

The TRD stuff isn't too low, but you'll feel a big difference. I say go for it.

I say u get a coilover system, that way, in the winter, you can adjust the height so that you don't become a snowplow. The Tein basics start at around 850 from most places

I'm using KW Coilover - A bit pricey but however a lot of features from height adjustment to damper.

The TRD shocks and Tein H Techs would be my recommendation as far as a mild lowering, decent comfort and a bit of practicality.

Like someone else said coilovers will allow you to adjust your height but that also requires an alignment after each change and might not be practical.
