Default Advice Needed!

Okay, I really need help in deciding. Currently I have sprint springs which lowered my car almost two inches, it doesn't look like there is a lot of room for a bigger wheel unless I get really low pros. So question is, should I get different springs that don't give such a drastic drop so I could go up on the wheel size or keep the springs and stay with the stock wheel size? I'm really at a cross between the two. Please help.

By looking at your pics in your "profile", your tC looks a little lower than 2 inches. That ish is low! I would go with new Springs. I have TRD Springs (1.25") with 18s and it looks nice. A set-up like that will give you many different options for wheels and tires. Plus, it will be easier on your shocks compared to your current drop. Just my two cents.

I say stick with the drop, and save some money and weight by buying 17's. That way you can wrap your new rims in the same tires without having to spend more money on another set of tires, and you don't have to buy a new set of springs. As long as the drop is ok with you, stick with 17's. Makes the car lighter and with that drop, 17's will fill it up well.

now i am even more confused. both sides have good points. I like the drop (just a little inconvenient at times) and i also like the idea of trd springs with bigger wheels. Maybe I'll flip a coin.
