Lowering Spirngs with a FiveAxis kits and Wheels
 
Hey guys,

I ordered the FiveAxis kits and Wheels, it takes a month or so to get it. I wanna drop my car also, but which lowering springs best?

Im kinda debating either Eibach Pro Kit or Tein H tech, both are about inch drop.

thanksssss:thumbup:

I ordered and get it install as well at Kar Toyz at San Jose. They were also authorized dealer for Five Ad. They gave me good price tho, instead of going to Toyota dealer. They ripping me off :(

I have the RCE Yellow lowering springs. Claimed drop is 0.8" (shown below) but now sits lower a bit more after settling.

No, they're not bad for the car. Yes, getting the correct ones as well as ones that are balanced like Swifts or Eibachs will make the car perform proper.

A sample of Tnt's after opti coat, if you don't mind bro. :respekt:
