Lowering advice
I'm thinking about dropping my stock 2012 tC an inch or 2 in the next month or so. I was wondering since I'm going lower, will I need to change my struts or shocks or anything of that matter? I heard it won't make much of a difference.
Here's what I'm planning on getting...

with the H&R Springs you plan to get..You can just use your Stock Struts w/o any problems.
Usually if you go Lower than 1.5" its a good idea to get Aftermarket Performance Struts because they can handle the Spring load better.

dont get those. dont get any springs that lower front more than rear for tc2
from stock the rear is way higher than front so u want to neautralize that a bit by getting springs with lower rear end. if not then ur front will have zero wheel gap while in the rear you can fit a baby crib....
get these:

I have the S-techs and although the numbers show that the rear is a lower drop, in the end the rear still looks a lil higher than the front. The popular brands for lowest are Tein S-techs or Eibach Sportlines. A lot of talk on these forums between the two. As of right now there are no known after market struts and shocks.

plus if there were shocks it'd be a waste of $$ since if u add just a lil more, you'd be able to get coils.
just get these:

i think they are are like $830 if u use SCIONEDGE coupon
but if thats too much then get eibach or stechs, i had eibach and they were great

TRD is where its at in my opinion (Thanks Yuriy). i bottomed out more on stock springs, and the ride quality is not much different. the handling seemed to increase as well. TRD is a nice level drop that looks clean, and for the install everything fit like a glove and came with bump stops so you dont have to cut the stock ones
