Honestly, dude, just get a set of Tanabe DF210s and be done with it. They're great, low springs.

Not to mention a great price...

Since you're on ScionLife call them and ask them for the discount, it's free shipping, comes out to 162 shipped....

1-877-788-6464 ask for "Brandon"

I just got mine a couple days ago, they look awesome.

Here they are just installed with Konig Unknowns 18x7.5 with a 215/45/18 tire which actually rubbed kinda bad so I moved back to a 215/35.

They still handle great for how low they are.

Really getting the bang for your buck with DF210's in my opinion.

I say go Tanbe or Tein S techs. Also remember that the springs have little effect on ride quality. The struts and shocks control that mostly. If you desire a nice comfy ride go with the Monroe struts/shocks at the same time as spring install.

I'm looking at new springs after feeling the TRDs were not low ebough. Why am I finding mixed reviews on the amount of drop il get with s techs? precision muffle says 2.4 in front and 2 in the back, but other site say s-techs will give me 1.7 and 1.5. The DF210's say everywhere 2.2 and 2. I want a drop over 2 inches, but it doesnt seem guaranteed with the s-techs, but I KNOW I've seen cars looking just the was I want to look on s-techs. But I'm thinkin df210 as long as I wont rub on 215/45/17. Any input?

^^^You should be ok with the 215/45/17s as long as you aren't running rear spacers.
S Techs are 1.7 F and 1.5 R but will sag to about 2 inches front and rear. The DF210s should be right around 2 inches around.
I'm going with H Techs this time so by the time they sag I will stay above 1.5 inches of drop.

DAMN! I have rear spacers. Just the hub ones though, not anything else, although it still looks to me like the wheels will tuck..... so you think ill be good with the df210?

imo... tein basics!

you'll need shocks eventually for the s-techs and any other spring that sits that low...

I agree with the df210's. I am also running a Toyota Echo strut for an extra1/2 drop. I personally think it rides better than stock.
