I take it since your in ohio, you make it through the winters then with this ride height :)

Thanks for the insight and the pictures. It was a massive help for sure to get some nice ground level shots. I would like to see one where the camera is ON the ground so I can really see the height, but I'm fortunate enough to be able to see these ones. One last question, when you get the alignment...do you just have them use stock factory alignment specs?

Looks like the TRD springs might be going up in the F.S section soon if I go with the DF's.

Make it through winters no problem. I do use the factory steelies with snow tires then, but leave the springs on and everything.

And no idea on the alignment, I just took it and told them I needed an alignment. They did the rest.

I think that I've read somewhere on the forum that the Tokicos are stiffer then the kyb's but I can't be 100% sure.

I'll also be putting on Tokicos with the springs when I do the springs, should I have any rubbing issues at all? Another question is how do you folks with df's deal with speedbumps :)
Well I'm running DFs with stock shocks and stock 15 wheels and speed bumps suck! I have to creep over them when I carry any one but myself to keep from smacking the bottom of the car on them when I get on the other side. With 3 people in the car I scraped the air deflectors in front of the rear wheels so much I took them off. My friends at work now treat my car as a two seater so as to avoid the bumps and grinds associated with driving with more then 2 people in the car. If you have to deal with speed bumps a lot and carry more then 1 other person often, you might want to consider a smaller drop then the DFs. I don't know how much stiffer shocks/bigger wheels helps, but this is just my experience. You can read my full review here.
