Yes coilovers are much more expensive than springs alone. Also you can go wayyyy lower, forgot about that lol

Wow. Yea smh..roads here in chi are porbably as nice as Baghdads..and I have to drive over train tracks like 5 times a day. I enjoy going dam near airborne over them like General Lee, and not hearing the slightest scrape.
Ive seen lowered Si's come to a dead stop over the same tracks, I'll nearly rear end them and have to whip around.
So that sucks..cuz I really like the lowered look. So I guess I gotta pay to play with the coilovers, if I want to stay rolling on 17s or 18s :(

Coilovers are going to give you the option of how low or high and then you can adjust them to be stiff enough that you wont get that much suspension travel.

Is it possible to lower JUST the back? At least on mine (stock model), the back seems to ride much higher than the front; can actually see the springs underneath from behind. So fugly! But apparently have to remove struts in front (?) to install, which will make having springs installed quite expensive -- around $300. Can I lower back-end only???

You can by installing springs in the rear only, but any springs you install are going to drop the rear to.below the front which is going to look more "fugly" IMO

I assume these are gonna go lower than the TRDs that are already on my car. I ask because the Mini 17s that I have make the car sit about half to three quarters an inch higher than on the stock pizza cutters.

I'm debating if I want to come down there and pick these up and then sell the TRDs. The problem is that I wouldn't be able to go down there until next weekend.

You are correct. On my sedan it sat really low until I gutted the rear. Then that back sat higher.

You mean like sunday 8/19? That weekend is our Orlando meet it's a little closer to you and we could all chill. Ill let you know If I still have them going into the weekend.

Oh nice. Hell, that'd be cool just to chill and stuff even if you don't have them.

Who all will be there? Anyone else from Georgia? XD, sorry...you can just PM me the details so we don't screw up your sale thread.
