How low do you want to go ? The TTE lowering springs are available from Toyota/Lexus and don't cost a lot.

I wanted the Tein ones because they were a trusted big name brand, but my penny pinching northen sie of me is wondering why they are £80 more then the others available. And if I wondered if they would actually be £80 better?? Certainly might come down to how quickly I can get them.

Ive got the ones Andy has ordered from e-bay and iv'e not had any problems, IMO the Tein 35mm front 23mm rear drop isn't enough, still looks too high to me. The ride comfort didn't change that much on the e-bay ones.

Bit disapointed, went to toyota today and and get the TTE springs for £150, but my garage have quoted me the same again for fitting! Which in all honesty I can't justify spending on a tempory fix. Sad
Don't know how far I am going to take my car modifying but don't want to get to a point where I am going to want coilovers, and then have thrown £300 down the drain.
So going to spend the cash else where, or save it and try get coilovers sorted.
