Default Lowering Springs

I know, this has been posted before but I can't find the topic anywhere. Anyways, can someone tell me where I can get some springs that will lower my xA? I don't need it down to the ground, just something to get rid of that nasty wheel gap. I have 15" wheels so...

I don't need anything too pricey though, something good enough though. Thanks!

Just ordered Tanabe NF210's from www.hopupracing.com . $185 shipped, 1.5" drop. They also have the DF210's, 2" drop with those. Hope that helps. Search for Df210, there is a sticky thread somewhere with some real good info.

i was looking at your car [from the images you uploaded] and it seems like ur tires look like they're the stock size [p185/60r15]. when i put up my stock wheels and tires next to my 17's with 205/40r17 size tires, the stock ones were about 0.2" larger in overall diameter. anyhow, i was the guy that posted the whole TRD springs on 17's thread a few weeks back. i got my springs and put them in and heres how they look: [keep reading, im getting to my point]



as opposed to this ugliness


my point being, the TRD springs may be a good idea since u did mention that you "don't need it down to the ground" im happy with mine and since ur wheel and tire setup may be a smidge larger than mine in overall diameter, your outcome may be similar.

good luck.

ps: i got my springs from scion parts people for $163 shipped. and keep in mind, the lower you go on stock shocks the harsher your ride will be.
