Get rid of the vertigo stock susp. w/out lowering much

[regal]

I think I am going to sell my old civic and buy the TRD suspension, sounds like it is much firmer than stock. The blue shocks look like a nice way to save $100 but I like the idea of TRD's toyota engineering.


Another question, would it be possible to find a winter tire size for the 15" steelies that would effectively raise the vehicle back up to stock heigth ( with the TRD springs) ?

The TRD spring/shock combo offers quite a bit stiffer ride. It's far, far from stock ride comfort. That said, it rails the turns which is what I like.

Regarding taller winter boots. You may find wheelwell clearance issues in the front. I have shorter than stock snows and still find the front wheelwells get packed with snow/slush/ice quite quickly. I'll be happier next winter just finding some snow's that bring it up to stock tire diameter, just for the ground clearance. My front lip should get a commission from the city for helping plow the streets.
