Twins are not that high and their suspension travel is not that long to begin with. What seemed "not a lot" of lowering for old cars with 2-3x times suspension travel and double the stock ground clearance, is often way too much for these. Of course, owner is free to do whatever he wants from his car according to priorities, but better if one knows what is sacrificed by that and if price of reduced function paid for form is worth it.

Yeah that's a good point. I ran TRD for 3 years and just thought the front was too high with the gap..ill monitor to see if any issues for the front and can raise it up if anything

Surprisingly my CV axle is starting to leak/click and it is before I installed coil overs. I guess it's normal wear and tear from 6 year ownership
