thats how i love.
for some reason i thought you said you getting rid of your spring hehehe
no issue rubbing at the back right?
just in the front everytime you take turn?
fender rolling will solve?

well, i've had my car a year this month. ive had the s-techs on there about 6 months i guess. no rubbing on the back at all. at first, it was rubbing on the inner fender liner when i first put the springs on. i had TRDs when i got the car, but it wasn't low enough. i cut out the parts of the fender liner that i was rubbing and it cleared up rubbing issues. now, my passenger side will rub sometimes when i cut it hard to the left. i dont think a fender roll will fix the rubbing on the front. it doesnt rub the actual fenders, just the liner. at first it was when i would hit a bump or come off a dip. now its just when i turn. ive pretty much ripped out or rubbed out any part of the plastic i was rubbing.

i am still running stock shocks. figure i will til they need to be replaced, then i will go with some shorter ones.

im hoping the 17's with the right offset, will give me a lil more clearance and a hair bit more low.
