I know for the eibachs they should lower the car about an inch as for the s-tech maybe around 1.5?

you know what would be crazy? 2" lowered front and stock height rear. I wonder how that would handle turns. prolly get better launches with the weight displacement towards the front though.

how much does that lower you in the front and in the rear?


My S-Tech fronts are at about -1.8", while the Eibach rears have settled to about -1.6". It's a WAAAAAY more even drop than running either the Teins or Eibachs singularly all around.

I would get brand new mounts from Toyota. Seems to be one area where factory parts are preferred. I had kyb strut mounts on my corolla and they were noisy and I know of other people who have complained about them as well. So stick to OE
