it depends how wide, what offset, and what tires you run.

im on TRD shocks/struts with tien stechs and i dont rub even on hard dips or bumps. i have 18x7.5 rims with 45 offset and 225/40/18 tires.

hope this helps.

i say go with the stechs they are stiffer, the car's stance looks alot better.

i can still go straight over speedbumps and i have an HKS exhaust, you do have to angle up steep driveways though but im used to driving lowered cars.

i say get the stechs as long as you got a set of shocks/struts to go along with it to keep you stock shocks from blowing

lowering springs can blow stock struts. You have an 06', So I'm assuming low miles on the struts.. you'd probably be fine, but know that you're going to have to replace the struts earlier than you would with stock springs.

As long as you use a recommended offset and size, you won't have any problems with fitament. We've got 19's and s-techs on our 06'
