I have the TRD springs on my car with Jackson Racing 17" wheels, and Michelin 225 Tires. The car handles great. 18" rims will look cool, however the ride will be harsher. I have the magna flow cat back exhaust on my car, It has a great fit. Plus the sound is not over the top. I would look for a good independent shop to do the spring install. I paid$ 600 with an alignment.

Was that just for install or with the cost of the springs. I keep debating with myself on it. Just because I daily mine all year and I don't know if I want to deal with that in the winter.

Thanks so much for answering my questions, Ron. I am basically looking for a "boomy" sound at around 1000-3000rpm, I imagine it will make it easier to shift too. Would you say the Magnaflow fits that description?

I will definitely look into a shop to do the lowering springs. I guess the annoying part will be calling around for estimates. I just have the springs sitting around right now...

Or just go to Harbor Freight and buy a Spring Compressor. Money saved on shop labor is more money for MODS!!!!!!!!!!

True lol. I'm kinda tired of paying for labor, I wish I had the time and energy to do it all myself..I have plenty of mods planned for the future...
