Default Will the TRD Lowering Springs eliminate the Wheel Gap?

Will the 1.2" drop eliminate the Wheel Gap?

Also, will the stock shocks and struts be enough for the TRD springs or should I get the factory upgrade to those as well?

It should cut the gap in half. It shouldn't look too bad with the lowering springs. My tC should be in within a couple of weeks, and I'm getting the lowering springs with it. If you eventually upgrade rims to an 18 or 19, you wouldn't want more than a couple of inches of drop. On the question in regards to the stock suspension, I would suggest just to keep it. It is good quality. Wait until you need it replaced, and then do it. It should be perfectly fine though with the drop.

I believe it lowers it from four finger gap to a two finger.

I am sticking with the TRD lowering springs, wouldn't want it any lower.

After owning a car that hugged the ground, I learned to appreciate having ground clearance.

How much more firm is the drive with the lowered suspension?
