screw it...take your car to a shop and half them cut one coil from each of your springs.

it may reduce quality of comfort but at least u will be happy
also get the biggest size tires u can get without rubbing
225x45 all around sounds right....235 is just wider tires not the height. height is the 45

p.s. maybe your struts are in really great condition and springs are not able to drop completly (lol just a guess i could be really wrong though)
the only way you will appreciate your current ride height is to compare to another solara


I don't think imma cut my springs lol... So you think I can go for 225/50/18 in the back? I saw pics of people with the same setup, 225/45/18 and still have a 1.5 finger gap in the back.

Also, even though my struts are brand new, I don't think they affect the height of my ride...

I would stick to 225/45, any taller you will hit the strut lower hat, 235/45 you might run into rubbing issues.

also DON"T CUT your springs, if you want to go lower you can get springs that lower the car more, or go coilovers.
Teins don't have as low as a drop as K-sport and Eibach. It you really didn't mind ride quality, Sprint makes springs for our cars and lower the car about 2". They make the lowest riding springs for our platform. but ride quality isn't as good as others mentioned above

Also since you just installed your springs you need to give it a couple of more weeks for the springs and struts to settle. it will settle lower.

Tein S-Tech fronts, Eibach Pro-Kit rears. Had it, loved it, would still be running them if I hadn't tested out the Megan coilovers.

i would keep the tein fronts and if you want a lower stance in the rear to the eibach, trust me they will work i was going to go with that set up but my mind is set on a different route. :)
