Nateson - I have not been able to find a number as to what the drop is for the 2011's. All I know they are lower and it appears the shocks are different as well.

 

I wonder what they're doing.? I looked on Edmunds and the height difference is .6 inches. (60-59.4 inches)

 

Thanks for finding that out! From the pictures I thought the drop would be a little more than that, I was thinking it was an inch or so.

 

Are the shocks the same P/N? Might just be different springs and everything else could be the same. I test drove a 2011 and it does feel a little stiffer and more confident in the corners.

 

Yup that's what it looks like. Step back one page and andrewjc states TRD sparks told him they are indeed different.

 

Springs are different nor sure if the shocks are different. I did not confirm that but I suspect that they are different.

 

My bad. I neglected to read the question carefully. It said shocks not springs. In any case I have no idea.

 

Well long overdue update but I did have Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed last week. The stock suspension was really bothering me. When I was taking on ramps I would have to chinch up my seatbelt and press my elbows on the side of the seat bolsters to keep myself upright. Now the car is almost flat through the corners and I can carry more speed. The ride is not harsh at all firmer yes but no issues at all for commuting. I decided to go with Eibach because they are a progressive rate spring, and reputation of the company. The one headache was getting the alignment done. For whatever reason my left rear wheel was way out of alignment and a shim had to be ordered to get it back in spec. It took a lot of extra time and some money to get it right. In the end it was totally worth it the handles much better than stock.

 

i know after i lowered my car i also installed a rear sway bar which was night/day in terms of body roll and understeer in the corners. that is if you werent totally satisfied now. i found it a worthy investment.

 

I have the TRD bar and I'm happy for now. A couple of things that could help is new tires. I have about 32K on the OEM tires and or the Nitto underbrace. I also had the NST pulley installed but I'll post something in the review thread.
