Best I can do is a comparison in the height on stock wheels with Tanabe DF210's (2.2" drop)

I'm running the TRD springs, 18" rims, 215/35 tires. The ride isn't too rough, handles well, and still has enough suspension travel that I'm not bottoming out going into and out of driveways and such.

If just a red "X" is showing, here's the link:

I got the Tanabe DF210's. Haven't taken a pic yet, waiting for them to settle fully. Tucking back tire, almost tucking front tire. I got them at http://www.ptuning.com for around $155 or close to it, and SL.com members get an additional 5% off of that. Good springs, highly recommended.
