Your probably gonna get those tanabe Df210 springs (2.2 2.5). I currently have these on my car and i love them. And even with a Trd body kit i don't ever scrape, So you have nothing to worry about being your stock. I also suggest you get some new shocks and structs plus camber links (Hotchiks) Due to the extreme drop. ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/thumbsup.gif)

It might get scraped up, but it won't get broken unless you step on it or drive over it. ![tongue tongue](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/tongue.gif) I've scraped the bottom of the lip less than 3 times in the past 3 1/2 months. ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/shrumdude/nogap.jpg) The front can only go down another 1/4" or so. The tires are 195/60-15.

what would be some of your guys suggestions as for lowering? Not too low not too high? because imma get some springs but iono about 2.5" because of the kit i have on the Vielside EC-1. What do you guys suggest i get to make it look nice and hardly scrape.
