Either the Axis one's or the Ruff Racing ones. The stance is all going to depend on the size and offset of the rim though, not necessarily the design

To lower your car, either go with trd, tein-h, or tein-s coils. It all depends on how much drop and stiffness you want.


Unless you really want to invest, then get tein coilovers

I think everyone prefers coilovers, but seeing as they cost 4 times as much a lot of people decide to get just the coils

After riding S-Techs for 7k miles, I would not recommend any lower. The front end is easy to scrape. Any lower would require perfect roads or more patience than I care to use on my D.D.

If you are looking for a stanced car. No spring set up for the tC2 is low enough. Go with either a set of KSport Coilovers or a set of Standard Suspension coilovers. Nothing on the market will even compare to either of those two bands...
For the rims themselves, face designs is a personal choice, so it doesnt matter much which ones you pick. You just need to ensure that you have proper sizing, 18x9.5 +35's will get you to flush status, 18x9.5 +25 will poke a bit.

For everyone saying that springs are too low etc. He clearly states that he wants to stance his tC2, nothing is low enough.

To the op, go here for the stanced tC2 thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=208464
