I kind of want them just so I can stay under warranty. I'll defiantly get aftermarket ones when I'm out of warranty to though.

How low of a drop do you want? Will you track it? I believe the TRD spring is a mild drop. I'm considering that or the RaceComp Engineering springs.

But he won't be covered under warranty. Unless they offer the eibachs at his dealership.
