yeah it does. i was looking to just lower my car another inch or little less, but damn. it not only totally changed the way it looks, but the handling AND comfort improved a lot! and i thought the hotchkis springs were awesome already

quick question, did you need to use rear LCA to max out the ST coilovers?

i didnt. my rear camber came down to -2.5deg and i liked it where it was so left it alone. if you prefer less camber then you'll need adjustable rear lca's to bring it back closer to stock. you'll also need an alignment afterwards since the toe specs will be off again after installing the lca.

i love the HKS exhaust. it can get pretty loud during start up, but once the car is warmed up, the sound is pretty minimal at idle. at wide open throttle, it can get pretty damn loud lol. there's a very slight drone at cruising speeds, but ive learned how to modulate the throttle just enough to almost get rid of it... took some time driving to figure it out though. not sure how it compares to the TRD exhaust since i never had the TRD to compare, but it's definitely louder hahah

Lovin' your build! Those color matched wheels are sick! I'm looking to get the same wheels eventually and it looks like from the pics that you got them before coilovers. Was your suspension stock when you first got the wheels? If so, did you have any rubbing issues at all? Thanks!

thanks man! when i first put the wheels/tires on, i was on stock suspension. and then i put in hotchkis springs (1-in drop) with camber bolts about a couple weeks later. there was no rub at all on either set up... but with the lowering springs my tire was veryyyyyy close to the stock spring perch at -1.4 deg camber.
