How much to lower?

[Pinchlite]

Wheels:16x7/4x100mm offset 40

2007 2DR HB.

I was thinking 1.5 drop.

Roads are good in my parts.I kind of have an obsession of missing every bump,manhole cover etc for some reason already on stock.Mind you I have always done this with all of my cars.

1.5 inches in the rear is pretty standard. you can go a lot more if you want to. :)

I am going the cheapest route.I am just getting other springs.I dont drive aggressivly at all but just want less wheel well showing with the wheel specs I posted

Tire BTW are 205/45R16 Comp TA 2

Here is springs I had in mind.

Tein springs with kyb struts plus TRD swaybar 2 inch drop works perfectly on my Yaris.

Well I already have rims and tires in the dimensions that I mentioned earlier.

I can only afford springs.

Basic question would this work without being a problem?

1 3/4'' drop

P.S

I may be able to squeeze in the sway bar into my budget if it helps?

Well I would save ur money cos if ur car has high km its going to need struts and might as well save the labor costs and do it once right.

The struts are 2 1/2 years old.I have receipts and my mechanic said they are not original.

If struts having high kilometers on them being the deciding factor then I will go ahead and do the springs.

Thanks for reply back.

Go for it, takes about 2.5 hrs for the whole job to lower ur car than u will need alignment done to fix toe set.

I will let a shop do it for me.

I do have the tools besides the spring tensioner which I could rent but I dont have proper place to do the job.

I will ask my regular mechanis what he would charge.

Like Exiwolfman, I'm on the Tein S Tech springs, but I'm still on factory shocks/struts. Loving every second of it.

Well those are 1.5 and are almost double the cost of what I linked.$358.00 CAD.

Would 1.5 even make a visually noticable difference?

If the ones I linked are no good then I will probaly hold off putting the new rims on this summer.

you get what you pay for. Tein's are almost the best suspension components you can get for under $4000.

1.5 makes a huge difference in visual appearance.

One can find teins at a lower price and ya it's a noticeable difference between 1.5 and 2 inch drop.

So 1.5 drop with the wheels and tire sizes I posted/mentioned would look okay.(2 DR HB)

As long as it does not have too much gap then I may go 1.5 and go for the tein spring afterall.If a few things go as planned I can swing it in my budget.

Well I would go with drop first than wheels with ur wheels I think teins should be fine.
Go low or go home lol

Thats my plan.I will not be putting on new wheels untill I lower.

I just was not sure 1.5 was enough as I have read many posts that say 1.5 is not even noticable?

Did you see the wheel and tirespecs I posted?
