Lowering springs and upgraded dampeners are:

I ran TRD springs and Koni's and I was still able to fit (with ease) 17x9 +35 wheels. Looked pretty decent in my opinion as well.



On an related note (sorry for the shameless plug), I will be selling these TRD springs (and front/rear sway bars) and Koni's (koni's will be on the car until Spring though). Price? Less than 1k lol. Hit me up if you're interested.
Good coilovers do exist for that price point. Tein Flex Z and for slightly more Tein Flex A. There’s a thread by CSG Mike with his thoughts on them. I had the street flex for a while and I really enjoyed them as a daily driving damper. The Flex As are supposed to be even better with the HBS and are cheaper because they’re not rebuildable.
