    ok, so would?.....the Eibach pro springs take away the that space between the tire and the body? or tire well? or should i go with a lower drop?

    VVTI 2 about the Tein 2.4 drop? do you have trouble getting over speed bumbs? or have any trouble getting over steep driveways etc.?

    cause now im wondering what i should get now, probably goin to look into Tein, Sportline, and my friend told me about the Skunk2 ajustable coil springs for the 03+ corolla he said it can adjust to 0-3" drop front and back?

    But thanks guys for the info definetly looking into those lowering springs

    ok planning to lower ther car and get exhaust

    Ok ive been planning to lower my car and ive seen alot of different styles of lowering springs. I dont want to lower my car alot so the place near me said to get Eibach lowering springs. If i get those would i have to get other parts or replace any parts? And what strut bar is good?

    You have a 03 Im assuming?

    Eibachs would work well....and you dont need anything else.

    Eibach Pro-Kit or Sportline springs.

    Sportline have a slightly lower drop, and are stiffer. Neither drop lower than 1.5", AFAIK.

    I'd say the Eibachs are marginally better... On a daily driver, I'd only use Pro-Kits, but I live in the land of potholes and cobblestone roads.

    hrmm ill have to look into that i dont want to go my struts to give out, but how much are the tokico hp struts for an 03 corolla? And is it a comfortable ride with the upgrade in struts.

    If you wanna get springs i would recommend getting different struts too because aftermarket springs will lower the life of stock struts...before i got my tokico hp, i had eibach pro kit and stock struts and the stock struts gave out around 3 months

    ok now im having a hard time deciding now i really want to get the tire well gone i dont like to see all that space there, so im gonna go a little lower. So far im lookin at Hotchkis Tuning Sport coils or Tein High.Tech spring set. I want to lower the car with out buying new struts. If i lower the car 1.5 or 1.7", would that cause more stress on the Mcpherson struts(stock) and would have to be replaced or would the TRD lowering springs be better then the Eibach?

    Wouldnt TRD be better since its probably more designed for the stock struts? or would it not really make a difference?

    Wouldnt make a difference cause after a certain amount of time your stock struts will wear out quicker.

    I dont plan on having my struts last me too much longer on my drop.

    Best bet is get springs save some then get struts

    hrmm i c not a bad idea at all, so what would be good struts KYB's? or those tokico hp? or whats a good pair? like Tein H techs or Hotchkis with KYB's or Tokico hp?

    O if i get Tein it will be the 1.7 drop spring set. I dont want to go so low where ill have trouble gettin in and out of my drive way and problems with those dame huge speed bumbs in my area. Speed bumbs, most annoying thing ever, other then sunday drivers and unexpected pot holes... damn things :mad: lol

    avoiding those things is the fun of driving...it's so boring to have a car not 2in off the ground, unless it got hydros. ;)
