Enjoy!

This will change your ride feel. It will not feel stock at all. It will make it a lot more sporty, but I think thats a good thing.

Welcome! :D

As far as lowering goes, if you have an SE you're in luck - just slap some TRD springs on it and you're ready to go! Just make sure to get the TRD RSB & FSTB to help stabilize your ride, but your ride quality should be similar to what you're used to now.

SLE owners need to swap out their struts though. Trust me - after a few thousand miles on my SLE struts and I was ready to dump my ride! You HAVE to have a stiffer strut than the OEM SLEs if you lower it.

Coilovers are the best way to go because they're adjustable - but will cost you your first-born! :o

best way to lower without spending over 1k on tein coilovers are:

se sport struts with trd lower springs or eibach pro kit lowering springs.

i myself have an 04 sle with the se sport struts swap and eibach pro kit lowering springs with trd rsb.

I ran a search on the topic but there are so many opinions that I'm not sure what to follow. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am really eager to have the car dropped an inch or two, if possible. Thanks.


No doubt....TEIN coilovers!!!! You can adjust height and damper. A far 2nd would be to just buy TRD springs and stock SE sprot struts.
