so my setup is as follows:

stock suspension
TRD rear sway bar on its way from ebay
JIC Magic front strut tower brace
17x7 rims w/ 42mm offset
215/40-17 tires

my question is: What springs and rear shocks should i get this spring to drop the toaster 1 to 2 inches? (no more, no less)

Of course, consider i want a nice ride, no rubbing, good stuff at a decent price, blah, blah, blah

 

I recommend the Tanabe DF210s to anyone who wants a good drop.

I've had three sets of lowering springs and the ride quality and drop you get from the DFs is spectacular.
They're rated 2.2" front, 2" rear.

 

from a previous thread you posted that you're running DF210s and monroe 5870 rears, ebay prices for DFs 172.50+ 30 for shipping and, for 2 monroes 50+ 7 for shipping,
does that seem resonable or are there better deals to be found?

 

I got my 5870s from Rockauto. They were $20 each + shipping.
You can get the DF210s from PTuning for 175 shipped. Use the coupon code 'ptscionlife'
Alternately, check the classifieds here.

 

I ran that set up for about a year..you can get the springs a bit cheaper here and there watch sales

 

DF210's ran smooth for me. Easy to install as well.

 

very much appreciated guys, i'll be working on this, as weather improves and just wanted to see what would be the best approach

 

any thought on these progress tech springs?

^^nevermind https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=progress+tech

 

Does Monroe sell a front shock? or is the 5870 rear only?

 

The 5870 is a shock so of course it is rear only we have front struts........

 

yeah they have xB struts and then you could always use Echo struts adn get that .5" drop
