Goldlines will work. Hotchkis springs are about 1.5" drop. I have a set that will be installed soon. I'm rolling on 17 inchers with 215-40's.

FYI, a two inch drop is pushing it with an 18" tire/wheel package. Even a 1.5 inch drop would need to be checked closely. For your information, we offer the following kit that you might want to consider:

H & R Sport Spring, Average low 1.5" Front 1.4" Rear @ $199.00 Plus shipping.

Hotchkis Sport Spring Set, Average low 1.4" Front 1.6" Rear, includes new bump stops @ $158.00 Plus shipping.

For more information, please feel free to give me a call or visit our site at: http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=DJ1&...sion/index.jsp

You're right, you don't need 2 inches. Go with Hotchkis....

1.6" drop, looks good on 18"s

See my profile for a pic.

Man, if everyone knew you were talking about "The drop I want" being a low, low drop, everyone would have suggested coilovers from the beginning lol

40 series tires? Its gonna rub in the front. Scionlife member scionara had a 2in drop and had to change to 35series to clear the front.

If you want a 2in drop I highly recomend the RS*R Springs. Great ride and a great drop. Click the link for more info :

You will definitely rub at hard lock in either direction, and depending on how much weight and road conditions, will rub slightly on the front inner fender wells.

The following springs are two inch drops that are most popular (not in any particular order).

TEIN S-techs
Goldlines
Tanabe DF-210s
RS*Rs
Spy (which is no longer available)

There may be others, but the above list is what was popular for fitment.
