suspension-

i have trd 7 piece kit installed. 17" wheels.

i want to lower it, but i want to first put on a RSB and springs leaving the struts stock for now. Wil that be a huge issue? i dont want the car low but still have a loose ride. will the springs and RSB stiffin the ride a bit, or is that all done by struts?

thanks.

just do it all at once and save you the time.

you have to get to the same area anyways.

true. however, if i do just get springs and RSB now will i notice better handling?

I have a buddy that installs it so im not worried about reoccuring labor costs.

the ride would be better if you did the 3 above all at once. using stock strut will loose some of the stiffnest you want from your car being lowered even with the RSB. The RSB only takes away from the body roll. Nothing to ho stiff the ride will be.

I never lowered my car with stock struts so i can't tell you how it will be compared. i've done everything done at once.

but why do something half asssed??? if you have everything apart might as well do it all at once. Its worth the wait even if you can't afford the strut right now.

i suppose. im just very impatient.

Do i need to take out the back seat to get the springs and or struts off? im almost sure i do, just wanting to make sure.

Yea man it just makes sense to do it all at once, no doubt. Just wait till you have all the parts and do it at once.

Until then don't drive it at all. I can't imagine how bad a solara looks with aftermarket rims, a kit, and not lowered. :puppydogeyes:
