I'm looking to lower my car without having the worry of my wheels tilting inward from the top.
I'm a new member and I hope someone can help me. Which is better to get for my suspension:
1) Eibach Pro Springs
2) Eibach Sportline Springs
3) TRD Springs
And what Brand of Shoks:
1) TRD
2) KONI
2) KYB
Sorry I don't have an idea, they all look good to me and these are just some suggestions made by some friends. Basically what i wanna know is which combo is best that will close the gap, give the best handling, etc WITHOUT having to buy extra parts to get the wheels straight again cause I lowered it too much.
THANX ALOT

sportlines are too low for any shock to last very long...
get coilovers.

TRD springs lower your car about an inch. a lot of people go with the Tein S-Tech and KYB AGX combo which i will also follow

the drop from sportlines is too much for a shock to last as long as with other springs...

so with a veilside kit TRD springs would be better? I want to lower my car, I have 18's and the car looks like it has too much space, but I dont really want to lower the car because the front is real low, or maybe i just need to learn how to drive with a kit
