are these actually going to come out or not? need to drop this biatch and im getting tired of waiting. for those with s-techs or vogtland, which spring sags less over time? i really dont want to have to worry alot about scraping the ground.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit w/ Tokico Struts and I barely scrape unless you go hella fast over bumps or up driveways. . . You shouldn't even going that fast up and over those things anyways. . . Just get some springs cause those 1 inch drops don't do much unless your car is already HELLA low to begin with

Hows the ride on the Eibach Pro Kit w/ Tokico Struts setup ? ?........and how low does it drop your ryde in the front and rear, last I read up on them, they were 1.4 inches all around .

I wanna go with the Tokico Blues w/ Tein H-tech setup if they ever come out b/c I don't want a drastic drop. Only looking for something to decrease the space in the wheel well to a minimal but not excessive and thats my reasoning towards waiting for the H-techs to come out.

My cousin has a set of H-techs on his TL-S and its not a crazy drop but a moderate drop where the front is 1.4 and the rear is 1.0.

.......Hopefully these come out soon, if not I might just end up getting the same setup as you or with a pair of Tein S-tech springs.

from what i have found there is no h-tceh setup for solara. if they dont have one by now i assume they never will.

1 gen sol - since you are looking for springs too this is what i have found.
vogtland - 1.5 all around
s tech - 1.65 front/1.42 rear
eibach - 1.6 front and rear

i havent seen any dropped solaras in person but i assume by the measurements an s-tech drop will look the best. and its the cheapest.
i think i will just by s-techs.

Eibach are 1.6 all around and the ride quality is awesome. . . It is stiffer than stock but not bumpy unless your just going to lower with stock struts but with the Tokicos they feel great

Dude just fill your car up with 3 fat bitches that way you dont have to lower your car and it will look lowered. Then tell them to lay low so no one sees them. Problem solved.
