Hey guys I've had a 2017 86 for a few weeks now and I'm thinking about putting some TRD lowering springs on it to make the wheel gap a little smaller and I like the lowered look of the 86.

I daily drive my 86 on 225 45 17's and it feels perfect the way it is. The ride is a bit harsh up in Michigan because the roads are absolute crap but it is still plenty comfortable for me.

The thing is I don't want to compromise the daily drivability and overall feel of the car. I know there has been a lot of discussion on lowering springs already but I haven't found too much on the 2017 version. I know they made some adjustments to the suspension to make it ride smoother stock compared to the 13-16's stock and I've also heard that the TRD lowering springs actually made the ride quality better for the 13-16's. Does anyone have input on how the TRD lowering springs affects the ride quality of the 17 compared to stock? The roads up here are crap enough and I don't really want noticeably worse ride quality.

I've also never scraped the bottom even on some really steep driveways just driving normally and I like having that peace of mind. Do the TRD lowering springs sort of ruin that peace of mind of not scraping or are you noticeably more aware of it?
