There is a certain height you can lower a car where it will improve handling/stability. Once you get below a certain height (once you control arms start to look like \_____/ ), you start to negatively effect handling.

The car looks great. I like the TRD drop (i have it myself). How do you like the Blues? Im still running stock shocks and Im torn between the Blues and HTS... price being a factor.

I like Blues a lot, especially given the price. I honestly couldn't justify spending 600+ on the HTS for what I do with my car. It's a commuter/back road romper, that's it. The blues+trd work well enough together to put a smile on my face.

Cool. Glad to hear the positive feedback. The HTS are going for 580 so its making the choice tough. For that price I could by the Blues and a rear sway bar....yeah, think i just made up my mind.

Ur car looks great!!!

Coilovers will slam with great handling to a point... My Megans are slammed with added negative camber, and all toe set to 0 degrees, and handles GREAT... (tucking tire)

Get the Blues+rear sway. The rear sway bar made a HUGE difference. The car felt so much better after installing it that I was amazed it wasn't a factory installed part.
