Please help me in my decision-making process

It is easier to crawl under the car to install the rsb before the car is dropped. If you want looks first, lower it, otherwise get the rsb. Are you planning on installing the springs yourself?

RSB and then go for the rest. The SLE is scary making high speed turns almost to the point of being dangerous. I put the RSB on in the middle position and it is night and day better in performance. The FSTB is also a must with a rag top to drastically reduce body twist. Not sure it would be a big help for you. Once again, for safety and handling I recommend the RSB. The sooner you get it the happier you will be.

In the end you gotta make yourself happy

its a standoff between the springs and the RSB! I guess i'll just suck it up and get both then. When it comes to lowering springs, can anyone give me an opinion/difference in driving between the TRD and Eibach's?

and Gz, I got a friend who owns an auto repair shop, so I'll probably have him help me out at his shop. I'll need to get a realignment afterwards anyways.

im telling you do a quick search on the SLE struts with the lowering springs
i dont want you to regret having to do the springs twice

and if i remember correctly the eibachs and TRDs are the same springs
TRDs are eibachs renamed and are red now

Yadda, Get the RSB. When the time comes to change out your struts, get the lowering springs and install it then. BTW whats your mileage?

[yaddadaimsayin]

thats actually a pretty good idea sarki. I'm at about 90k right now. Struts still seem to be in good working order. Once I need to get them replaced, I'll get the springs and take Kingkakyle's advice. Good call.
