Need moar low!

Ok i haven't been here in a while, I want to lower my TL more. I have Tein S tech springs on stock struts. Can I go lower by just replacing the struts? or do I need to replace my whole suspension? I just need to close that 1 inch or so. So any tips and advice would be awesome!

Struts don't change ride height; springs do.
You'll need to purchase some coilovers to go lower. H&R, Megan, etc may have springs that go a tad lower but I'm talking like half an inch.

You want coilovers. That way you can be anywhere from a 4in drop to stock height and change whenever you feel the need.

Plus we don't have struts.

We have shocks.

And if you got certain shocks that compliment lowering springs you may notice a slight bit moar low.

But coils is your only chance of eliminating the gap.

there are a couple struts\shocks that may let you get another maybe inch but you would have to mod them to get it, i say buy coils but if not enough funds i say try H&R Race thats what i had which had no gap in the front and maybe alil in the back. look around

coils are the way to go. The FF type1s are cheap and pretty good, ive had them on 3 cars now and no issues. It looks good that height though
