Picked up a '17 L/auto as a bad weather daily driver to keep my modded '20 MGT clean. I've installed a set of 16x7 wheels and 205/50 tires with a TRD rear bar. Contemplating lowering it just a bit.....nothing extreme and on a budget. Found these on eBay. Think these will work on a DD driven less than 5K miles a year?

If you want to lower on a budget, get a set of Megan Racing lowering springs. They'll drop the car about 1.5". Thats what I run and its perfect for a daily driver.

The car has 46K on it. Going with springs I'd have to get new dampers and associated wearables. I doubt the OE dampers would hold up very long with springs.

I have MR Springs on stock struts, haven't had any issues. Gotta cut the bump stops down though but thats no sweat as they're basically foam.
