Im considering a drop and i have 18 wrapped in 245/40/zr18 P zeros and i was curious as to how much to drop my car. I ordered my p1 lip kit and idk wether to go trd or s techs, i dont wanna scrape an pics would be helpful. Appreciate it

 

you'll scrap like no other with stechs

 

so stick to trd?

 

im on 225/40r18 n most of the people ive talked to said tokico struts with s tech springs wont rub?

 

TRD gives you a nice subtle drop and you won't have to really worry about scraping. You should do both springs and shocks/struts. I have that set up, and I've only scraped once...and it was my fault.

 

not rele my taste i like the tucked look

 

well you can go with stechs but your gonna be going at crazy angles to get around speed bumps and dips

 

dude i kno is on the same setup as im going says he never rubbs

 

There are other springs besides s-techs and trds. Check out h-techs or H&R sports.

 

well i am getting the p1 lip kit so i dont think thats gonna add a very big drop, but i want a finger or so gap between my fender and top of my tire. What do you recommend? hotchkis? trd? or S techs? and are they all the same performance output also?

 

trd springs, 18" 225/40/18 tires, w/ RS1 Lip kit, i scrap only getting out of my garage.

 

that looks perfect. I think thats what im going to do. Do you have pics of our rear that i could see? and did you use 3m tape to hold up the kit?

 

i had 19's with rs1 with a lip kit on s techs and i rarely scrapped, i'll scrape now though with a 4" drop

 

i use self tapping screws

 

i have a 2inch drop and the only time i have scrapped was pulling down into a girls driveway where there was a huge drop

 

Thanks guys those are some clean loooking tc's. Yeah i think im going to sit on TRD's. Was that lipkit from ebay and was it easy to install.

 

Its typically not a matter of whether you will scrape or not but rather if you let yourself scrape.

As far as rubbing goes, if you put 245 width tires on there you will rub with s-techs. It really depends on the roads where you live, if there arent any dips and bumps you might not ever rub if you drive slow. I am dropped on progress springs (1.8") with 18x7.5 +35 wheels with 225/40/18 and I rub alot going over dips. But then again the roads here are garbage and getting worse.

 

if your not scrapin, your not low enough

 

either youre not low enough or you like to have better handling than guys on s-techs

 

with any drop you are gonna scrap eventually somewhere. i drive extremely careful and i still scrape at some places. especially if its in an area where you are unfamiliar with the terrain (i.e. dips, speed bumps, drive ways.)
