Looks damn good! Do you have any consideration for wheel spacers - but you don't have much gap.

What thickness would be ideal for stock 17" sport wheel TRD spring and SE Struts? I am about to install the same setup on my 07 Sport but with stock wheels...

Looks great with the drop! As for the back sag... since they were off of Jeff's vert, the extra weight may have had something to do with that. A new set of struts might do the trick.

Your car is looking great!

How is the ride now?

I read so much about how you can't just put lowering springs on stock struts, do you plan to get new shocks later on?

Well im lovin the ride but im hatin how jarring it get when i encounter a big bump or dip in the road, as for my stock struts well they have only 40k miles on them before i put the trd springs on and my struts are the sport struts not the sle so it feels a little stiffer than stock, but down the road i might get new shocks but for right not its doing fine.

I was told by the dealer, that the red ones were for the gen 2.5 because the back
was a little higher than the front from the factory. While the black ones were for the
gen 2s

and btw i have the red trd springs with less gap in the back.

this is from the dealer who I brought it from,
Alpine + Dynaudio = Sonic bliss.
