Default give me a suggestion on lowering springs

so i live in the city of boston and there are some tremendous xA swallowing potholes on the roads. that said, what is a decent drop and will offer a decently smooth ride.

i was looking at the eibach prokit but it seems like the drop would be too much. anybody have a similar situation or advice?

H-tech or TRDs with the Monroe #5987 shocks out back. You will be very happy with the new found ride quality and the mild drop.

i'd go with H. techs, i've heard trd springs have a rough ride to them. Tein is definitely a brand to concider. i put some s. techs on mine, and i still got a decent amount of ground clearence.

its the stock shocks that make the ride rough not the trd springs. change the shocks out with monroes and you will feel the difference.
