Rubbing Issues
Now I see plenty of complaints of rubbing and not rubbing. I'd like to find out if you were rubbing; where you were rubbing, what condition the roads are in where you live, what size wheel and tire you have, and also what suspension you are on and how low your drop is:
rubbing? - yes or no where? - inside fender or on the lip conditions of the roads? - smooth, full of bumps and potholes, in-between wheel size? - ex: 15x7 +35 offset tire size? - ex: 205/60 suspension? - trd struts & trd springs drop? - 2" It just seems like there is no clear answer and when it comes down to it, not everyone runs the same setup in the same conditions.

This is a great idea.
but with all due respect, there is no way you got a 2" drop from TRD springs.

Where? - both rears, tires rubbing against the upper area of the wheel well
conditions of the roads? - bumps here and there but nothing serious wheel size - 17x7 with 40 offset tire size - 215-40-17 suspension - 1.5" drop front + rear from spirit lowering springs and OEM shocks experiencing lots of rubbing since I went from 205-40-17 tires to 215s and on top of that, the oem shocks have become extremely bouncy, making things worse. my car is going into a shop to install the tokico shocks this week.

Should we include setups that aren't rubbing as well? Or should that be a seperate thread?

whatever you want, I figure this will be helpful for everyone. I edited it, so include if you are rubbing or not. Garm, for all you know there is someone who bought TRD springs and cut them, lol.
