Springs only. Lowest is probably tein.
Can't say for the best springs as lowest is not always the best.

It says a 1.75" drop, but mine dropped 2 inches, and others have said the same. Great springs been using mine almost 7 years.

If you are looking for maximum drop, do go with coilovers.

Coilovers and winter don't mix ...I'm on tein's and its a nice drop don't know if I would go any lower with the snow we get up here , I do recommend u spray them with underbody rust paint cos my last set of sportline springs got eaten by rust over 2 winters

The TEIN sit higher than the sprint springs, you actually have wheel gap there. Sprint settled 2", more than the TEIN and the OP was asking about the lowest springs. :wink:

One can only go so low when u have winter to drive in ...never heard of "sprint ' springs also all depending on ur wheel combo to make gap go away look lol
I would say my teins have not fully settle but drop so far is around 2inch

Lol I hear you there! I have to stop driving the Yaris when the snow on the road freezes or those nice ice chunks that fall off of trucks get on the road, however driving through powder is quite fun, the front bumper lip pushes it like a plow. The TEINs are great springs (I have a set in the garage) but preferred the sprints.

I find the tein little on the soft side after using sportline but over all much better ride as a DD

Arospeed 1.6/1.6
Tanabe DF210 1.8/2.0

I've installed a handful of rotors on light duty race cars and regular cars over the years, ranging from hi-performance slotted to cheapo budget no-name rotors. I'm no pro mechanic, just an avid auto-crosser and DIY'er, but I think these are the best bang for the buck. If anything, avoid the no-name stuff or serious budget stuff. They rust like crazy, and do not have a consistent enough run-out which may lead to brake judder. These come from a respected company and for their LUK Schaffer (http://www.lukschaffer.com) for long lasting corrosion protection Black XD Brake kit paired with kevlar or carbon brake pads is definitely the way to go for your

@JL512 - why are you posting your brake and rotor stuff on a "spring" thread? You've done the same thing on two other "spring" threads as well.
