The end game is full digital air ride, but for now, I might just spring it out. Coilovers would be nice, but cost too much right now. I am still considering.

Unfortunatly no... we tried to get a deal with them but they told me that they just couldn't give us the deal. They dont have the budget to do any kind of sponsorships. I love mine they ride really nice and after 4 months Ive had zero issues. I would say if you plan to do air go with the springs it will give you a nice subtle drop.

Thanks! I am really hard pressed on which route to take.

It's a very large purchase though, which is why I want something in the mean time.

Basically, with my bonus, I can get springs and tint or racelands...

I was going for Racelands, but eventually decided against them based on reliability (sounds like the shocks are easy to blow. But good good warranty) and comfort. I'm going for KYB shocks and struts and some form of lowering spring, prolly only and inch or so though

I have read about some of the problems, but Shadezz has had them for awhile and with no problems.

This has been a huge back and forth. I am not looking for a huge drop, just a nice drop and better handling. Maybe I should do the springs and tint...

AAAAH, you can go crazy trying to make a decision. Has anyone heard of Ksport springs? Good, Bad? I have searched google, but can't find anything on the springs. It's all about their coilovers.

I did a bit of research on the ksports springs and from what I've read they give you a level drop but when the rear springs settle it looks uneven. I would just go with the teins.

Are you thinking H-techs from Tein, or S-Tech?

The TRDs are incredibly comfortable... I imagine the H-Techs are almost identical to height and comfort.

The S-Techs will ruin your ride IMO.

I am looking at the S-techs. I haven't heard a single complaint about the ride quality. Where did you hear that? Do you have first hand experience or a link to where you read it?

If I am going to drop it, I want a decent drop.

Ok, my decision just got easier. Part of why I was having such a hard time decided was the cost. Teins locally are $280+20 shipping. Teins online are $250+26 shipping. Then I found Auto Anything. Tein S-techs are 184 delivered to my door. I should be ordering them tomorrow. I just have to call and ask a couple of questions.

Since that issue is solved, next will be tint.

BTW, we should get together in January. As long as the weather isn't too bad, we should get together for a lunch or something.
