Yeah it doesn't look too bad with the stock springs. I think the one inch eibach drop will be just about perfect.

I haven't noticed a whole lot of difference except for the level of grip on the tires is so much better. Mine came with the all season Bridgestone Turanzas which suck.

I assume you are referring to the springs.. yes I am unless I can find a shop around here that will do it for around $200. With the amount of effort involved I will pay that amount to have it done. The local Scion dealer quoted me 1 1/2 hours per strut for $650... lol

I'm thinking my 19's with 235/35's may not need a drop at all, looks good i'm thinking the look will be worth whatever small losses in performance i may get.

How is the ride on 19's?
