Well, I dig it! Coincidently, do these spoilers do anything on our cars? Is there any downward force being exerted?

10 whp in cool factor. Maybe keep window glass a bit cleaner. Down force nil.

If I remember correctly, our cars are governed by aerodynamics. Drag keeps them from going much over 115 mph. I think the added drag from the spoiler brings down the top speed lol. They do look cool, though.

Thanks! Not sure, but I do know that on my old Grand Caravan, the application of a rear spoiler kept the liftgate window a heck of a lot cleaner. LOL!

I've driven all over your province dropped 1.5"

My recommendation should you decide to lower, go with something like Eibach Prokits at 1.1". These are the springs that Toyota Canada actually sold for lowering springs, not TRDs at 1.25"

Sage advice, I believe. I did see a set of other brand springs that stated 1.3" drop and I kinda liked that idea, but 1.1" sounds even better. I expect thse Eibach springs ain't cheap though. Will search online. Thanks!

Megan Racing isn't the highest level brand, but it's good, solid quality and doesn't break the bank. I think they provide a 1.5" drop on these cars.

Thanks. Will have a look at those.

Megans are what I was running. Decent ride quality with 1.5" drop front and rear. Problem with Megan is their powder coat sucks. Cracks and begins flaking off in second year.

Ah, good to know about the ride quality. I've always been surprised that powder coat would even last that long given the continuous flexing.
