[edit]

i originally posted that i had a 3 finger gap in the front and 2 finger gap in the back, but that was with the stockers on. Since i put my 18's i never really checked, i now have a 2 finger gap all around and im still debating if i should go with hotchkis...

upgrading to TRD or other aftermarket shocks/struts would also make the drop a little lower.

domino and i both have lip kits which bring the bottom of the car visually closer to the ground rather than lowering the car hence the term "ground effects".

IMO the TRD drop is pretty mild by comparison to tein or skunk or other setups. if i were looking into TRD springs i would most likely invest in some kind of lip kit or ground effects first.

flintstone, yeap that is 100% true
and also i think the important thing people are looking for is the wheel gap (which is not affected by our lip kits)
we get like... 2 fingers in there?
TRDs are mild compared to other drops
but atleast we don't have to be careful around bumps and elevated driveways!
