Which springs is closest to stock? Do I need shocks?
Alright, I was orginally thinking about getting the tein cs, and the lowest I found was $1400 shipped. As some of you know, AT&T Wireless and Cingular is merging, and I will be losing my job in a few months, so I have decided not to get the tein's.
So I decided just to run w/ a spring and shock setup. I really want something closet to stock as possible. Can you guys give me some recommendations on which setup I should go w/. I have a pet pev when the back is lower, so I want something that doesn't sag.
I will be putting a 19 inch staggered setup, and I don't want the car to be too low. It's gonna be a daily driver, so it needs to be barable. Thanks for the help
Also, if you can post pictures, so that I have an idea of what your car looks like, that would be great!!

Eibach or Tanabe springs are the closest to stock that we've been installing.
I'd suggest KYB shocks, we have been doing a bunch of those lately and everyone loves them!

I'd suggest espelir springs, the same ones I'm selling now.
The springs are the exact same spring rate as stock, and give you a low drop. And yes you will need new shocks because your stock ones can't handle the lower compression put on them by the shocks.
Espelir are top notch, just ask around.

Rate is not the only thing that will affect ride quality, suspension travel will as well, and anything over an inch or so is going to reduce that to some extent.
Toyota is pretty notorious for having long shocks and not much travel to begin with, so its important to have the proper spring rate when lowering the car if you want to keep anything resembling a stock ride.
