ST won't go super low, so if you're looking to slam it you're going to be disappointed.

Going super low is going to make it ride like garbage unless you spend a ton of money though.

its about 2" lower than stock which is low, but definitely not "slammed"

anyone have a lead on where to get the TRD lowering springs? I don't need them right now but I searched and some places want $250 per spring...is that the correct pricing on these, around $1000 a set?

I'm gunna chime in here about "cheap coilovers". I went the "cheap" route myself, spent around 1100 Canadian on GodSpeed Project Mono-Max's. They aren't terrible. If you mess around with the dampening, you can find a comfortable setting. They're a pretty good compromise if you want something for the street with an occasional track day.

However, they do happen to be my first set of coilovers ever, so my opinion may be absolutely invalid.

Fortune Auto 500's w/ Swift Spring upgrade run about ~$1400-$1500

Good option to research.
