Get TRDs if you're on 19's.

Seconded. Even if you don't rub all the time on the S Techs, YOU WILL RUB to some degree. TRDs are fine for 19s.

stechs are honestly not that low... It's the lowest spring available other than coilovers, but still not really that low.

(For reference of what I'm saying to some people that may not understand: A group of ugly people. Even though you can choose the hottest one, it doesn't mean that person is hot. lol)

I have 19x8.5 35 offset with h-techs, i don't rub. Only sometimes i get a very slight rub when i hit a big dip in the road on the driver side fender liner. So i think you should be fine given your wheel width and offset.

you might rub abit with 225/35/19 tires but with 215/35/19 you shouldn't have a problem at all.
