    Lower it as much as possible..tein s-tech are the best imo. I have them and love them, about a 2.75" drop if I can remember correctly. Get springs, wheels, then body kit.

    ...I suggest the Hotchkis, they aren't the lowest but are the stiffest. Other than I would also suggest the Tein SS coil overs.

    definitely go w/ a complete coilover or, new spring and strut set. My ride quality has completely gone to hell lately. I have hotchkis springs, stock struts, and 18" wheels. At first my ride was pretty good, but once my stock struts wore out the ride has gotten horrible. I have the TRD sportivo strut/spring set in the mail as we speak and i can't wait. After driving a rolla on TRD springs i realized how shitty my ride has become.

    assuming its the same overall diameter as stock, anything with a drop less than stech..mines are the same overall diamater as stock and rub on huge dips and hard cornering.

    with the 2.75 drop it definately scrapes on REALLY steep and weird angled stuff but it is all on the underneath on the lip kit so you dont see it.
