Fix the gangsta lean before you scrape that shiny new exhaust!

TRD struts are a good idea. They're bilsteins and are pretty much the stiffest aside from coil overs. Dont buy cheap springs, go for eibach or tein. You'll see a huge improvement.

It's the cheap springs you are using. I have TEIN's on mine with Tokico's and have been up to 130 and the car is perfectly stable and compliant.
