What springs lower a full 2"? I have 215/50/17 on Eibachs and Ive never rubbed in any circumstance

Intrax's go a bit lower than the Eibachs, I have run both 225/45 and 215/50 without any problems, so you should be ok.

Coilovers can drop you that low or lower. check this guy out with the JIC Magic Flt-A2 rolling all the way down and he seems to be ok. http://www.pbase.com/turbotoy/turbo_solara
Springs with Struts on the other hand will not be as tight of a suspension so it depends really. There are these cheap springs out there that can drop you 2.0". I will be harsh for the gas struts to handle in the long run.

How long can a tokico struts can last?? mileage wise. Im not planning to buy those cheap springs I already narrowed it down to intrax and tein I just need to decide which one cause I am more interested on the drop I will be picking up the springs tommorow

I have not had any problems yet and have had them for a few months. Everyone else has no complaints. They are the best performance struts out for the Solara.

My tockico's are starting to squeak :cry:

Tokico warranty is only good for 1.5" drop or less. You’re playing at your own risk really.
I went with Vogtland springs 1.5" drop. Main reason is because I was not ready for coilover set up yet and I also knew that springs won’t drop the car like I want anyway so I went safe for resale reason.

call up the guys at http://www.turboevolution.com/ and ask for tein springs for our car.. he sold me a set for 140 no tax if youre paying cash and no shipping charges if youre picking up... they do installs for 60 bucks for both shocks and springs..
