not a problem Gio, the car looks great!
to anyone questioning the quality of the Eibach Pro-Kit, i can attest, they installed without a hitch, no spring compressor required :)

I think I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but no one else mentioned it...don't forget to get an alignment done after about a week of driving around. It will be the front only, no adjustment for the rear.
And welcome to the unofficial lowered sedan club!

Yep. I'll be doing the alignment next week. I think I'll just take it to the dealer for that.

TRD advertise 1.2" drop but mine are closer to a 1.5" drop after a month or so.
I'm still on stock rubber (185/60/15) but can report that after approx. 15,000 kilometers of driving I've never had a tire vs. fender rub. No issues out back even with the five youth in the car + their junk in the trunk. NOTE: the TRD dampers definitely restrict free travel which surely lessen the chances of contact. Stock shocks may increase wheel travel and possibly the chance of a rub.

I'll be putting a front strut bar just to help a little more on the handling and that's it!

Ahhhhh! Thanks, found it! Look'n good. For what it's worth, I think a set of eye lids for your ride would totally enhance the front end.

its not the drop you should be worried about its the rubbing on the side. fr what i have gathered 17x7..you must have +42 offset and up if you dont want rubbing on ur 205 tires.

No rubbing on mine thank God!
