Yeah I will be working on my suspension this spring. I will be installing TRD springs and new KYB GR-2 struts all around.
I'm also interested in getting a TRD Rear Stabilizer bar (Sway bar).
Anyone know who might be selling one or where I can get one from?
Thx...

its bad for your camber to just lower it in the front.
I want to drop my car somewhat, like maybe 1.2 inches by eibach. Anyone know where i can get them?

 Positive camber: The bottoms of the wheels are closer together than the tops. Negative camber: The tops of the wheels are closer together than the bottoms. When a suspension does not gain camber during deflection, this causes a severe positive camber condition when the car leans during cornering. This can cause funky handling. Fight the funk: A suspension that gains camber during deflection will compensate for body roll. Tuning dynamic camber angles is one of the black arts of suspension tuning. |

heather if you want a nice drop without sacrificing the kit, why dont you get the Tein H. Tech springs, they are the new line of Tein springs that just came out and they have em for our cars. I believe it is 1.2" drop as well in the front. Same as Eibach's drop but i trust Tein's springs more and i would deff go with the Teins.

thanks guys! And i should upgrade to tockico struts right? I do want a stiffer ride.
Martin-- i want to lower my car more because of the wheel well gap. When i put my 17's on the car gets just a lil higher. If i drop like 1.2 inches it'll be fine.
