Can some one tell me what lowering Spring set is better (TRD, Eibach ect.) and is any photos before/after installation?!
What rideheight becomes after installation (if it's possible tell please in cm)?!

Do you own an I4 or V6 ??

If it's an I4 you can get Tein springs
Go see for yourself http://www.tein.com/ti/l68.html

To convert inch in cm just multiplicate the inches by 2.54

Eibach springs are a good balance between TRD (normal drop) and Tein (huge drop)

Ive got V6, and one small problem roads in Russia is to bad, thats why Im so intrested in ride height after installation. Id like to find compromise between usability and nice view of the car...

what is the rideheigh of you car after installation?!
0fftopic: can someone explain to me what does it mean "drops" - please tell me explanation of this word?!

The image of what the word drop means would be something that fall down

So your ride (car) fall down by lowering (dropping) your spring !

I would go with TRD springs if you got the SE model. If you got the SLE with bad road you will need to upgrade your struts and your springs. TRD offer a normal drop (not much like others) 1.4-1.2 inches drop. You cannot drop less then that !

Mine is an '04 SLE, I was planning on lowering it next year when i had to replace my tires. Was going to use the TRD lowering springs with the TRD sway bars. But SeBas007 you said something about changing the struts as well. What should the struts be changed to and why can't we just use the factory SLE strut?

stock struts (i guess in thizz case-except SE struts) aren't made to handle the load rate of lowering springs. They'll go bad with a quickness and again- pony up the money to get it fixed. Get it all done at once and properly so it doesn't become a problem later on.

(made a mistake on this portion- had to delete.)

and CNS if you're not going for performance and just for looks.. : H-TECH & GR-2 Struts : should be a good combo. VERY CLOSE to STOCK.

too bad that setup is not for a gen2 buddy... :drinking:
