New (to me) rims and new tires... FINALLY!

[nick.dollimount]

Sorry for the delay, the new rubber are Sumitomo. I've never heard of them before...

About the drop... I might just take a few pictures of some of the roads around here. Let's just say it's bad enough that there's a Facebook group regarding the pot holes in Halifax.

Also the price... isn't the hardware to drop a car pretty expensive?

I got my TRD springs for $300 (CDN) and installed them myself. You could probably find a cheaper brand.
As for the potholes, the lower profile wheels are more of an issue than lowering it a bit.

Where did you get those from?

Oreagan's Toyota Dartmouth. I ordered them using the part number from TRDUSA website. Took about 3 days for them to arrive from Toronto.

Sumitomo tyres have been around for a long time. They make some very decent tyres.

That's actually really good to hear. I was a bit afraid because I got them from a surplus place and thought they might be a bit sketchy. Thanks kimona!
