    TRD springs won't drop u a lot and u probably won't notice a difference in the drop... i would say go w/ TEIN S-Tech...

    I'm afraid to get too much of a drop because I snowboard alot and I need a car that can handle a bit of snow and some crappy dirt roads with holes. Do I need to replace the struts no matter what or can i get away with the stock ones? Will it sacrifice the ride?

    If just a small drop like H tech, your stock stunts should be good for 2 yrs.

    TRD springs on stock struts?

    I'm looking for a small drop on my 03 corolla. I want to go with the TRDs. I should probably know this but, do i need to get new struts to go with the new springs or can I just use the stock ones?
