Progress for handling. Stechs are too low.

I had Progress before and am now on Stechs,. Progress owns the Stechs as far as handling goes. but I just like the Stech drop. The rear is about the same, but the front is lower with Teins.

TRD, H&R, H-Tech, or Progress.

Hell, stock springs are better for handling than S-Techs...

Fixed... and agreed.

Also would note that if you really want better handing, find a nice set of adjustable coilovers. Adjust the ride height a bit (slammed does not mean better handling) and adjust the dampening for best ride.

I had no idea there were multiple H&R springs.

isnt 1.4 inches the sweet spot for our cars? i have H&R Coilovers and a TRD Rear Sway waiting to be installed. I'm dropping about 1.5 all around.

if i were you, id maybe go for htechs if you just want to do springs. the TRD drop is good for handling (so ive heard) but anything lowering then 1.5 takes away from performance

Ya, the sweet spot is supposed to be in the 1.3" to 1.5" range. Anything lower and you're losing performance.
