For the record, it's partly because of your pics that I decided on the pro-kits. I happen to think you already have the perfect drop!

Thanks Sherri! Glad you like!
Assuming you've got the springs in already...how do they ride? I know you had said the roads around your place were alittle rough.

Don't have them yet, waiting for payday at the end of the month. It's taken forever to decide! I'd planned on doing a mild drop but found the "registry" section here and looked at xAs with TRDs and H-techs. The eggs really need a little more than that with 15" wheels, IMHO. Got a chance to ride on some pro-kits on an xB and couldn't believe the lack of difference in harshness. And I like how the drop frames the wheels evenly all around on xAs.

It's mostly snow I'm worried about, but if mid-westerners can drop their cars I can too. We don't have potholes like in cities, but we do drive on gravel/bumpy roads--just slowly! Right now, my tires and body kit are orange from cinder gravel lol. It actually is a great color with the stingray, if I ever do paint maybe I'll do an orange fade!

Thanks Radar. Those were actually offered as a dealer option. I got the set used from a guy who bought them from the dealer on his box. (550 with 4 gently used Toyo Proxis FZ4.'s...I couldn't refuse)

Sherri. We get some decent snow here in NE...and Rhode Island road are 'le crappola'. You'll do fine...I wasn't plowing any roads this winter with that drop. The ride..as you said with the box..is very comparable to stock.
