In that pic it doesn't look much lower than H&R springs would make it. But maybe that's just my eyes.

It's a little lower than comptech springs but also CL-P tires are alittle bigger than CL-S tires. Lookin good, ain't nothing wrong with cut springs except for the one-times always hating and then trying to find stocks again. I want to cut my neuspeed springs about a coil.

Too low for PA roads. On my ten minute commute I have a set of railroad tracks with rails that go up at least an inch and a half. There are quite a few multi colored marks on that poor rail.

You reminded me of a dip in the pavement around the corner (that they finally fixed), and it had all of these paint marks and "dig" marks in it from lowered cars. I could hear this lowered Toyota hit there every time!!!

dude.... springs aren't that expensive... if you cut em, you could've installed real springs yourself instead of voiding out the warranty of your stock ones.... dude... c'mon, really...

I'm guessing I'll blow the shocks within the next 10k miles...but the hydraulics will be in by then, so I'm not too concerned.

And Soopa, I agree...my wheels are nasty. New wheels are desperately in need.

And for those who think my ride is bad...it's NOT! The ride is VERY NICE.
