OMG- How bad do I need to drop it

LOL, I just put new shoes on. 215/35/18 The rims are 18x7.5 with the 100x4 pattern.

Id like suggestions on a drop. Thats for sure the next step. What do you guys think?

I really like those wheels. Diffently need to drop it.....Maybe something like this
...

But really a set of Tanabe springs would look really good, or even goldlines.

Should I have to worry about the front wheels rubbing the wheel-well or fender lip if I drop it 1-2"?

The offset or backspacing will detrmine that the most. Do you know what yours are? Most wheels between 35 and 45 offset should be no problem, only a slight chance of rubbing at full lock.

I am sucker for the Tein S-Techs... 1.7 inch in front, 1.5 inch in rear (the actual drops once the springs settle is slightly more) check out my profile for the springs with only 17's on my box.

If I was going to buy some springs, I think I'd buy RSR from stylis, But that just me, and they are a little on the high side.

I like them because they have alittle rake to them, they are also some of the stiffest springs for a scion.

gotta love the RS*Rs, that rake will save your struts in the rear when you three big boys in the back and the car doesn't bottom out in the rear. :D
