Cameron, IMO go for a good set dont be tempted by cheap springs the Aberdeen roads kill them. Not meaning that as cheap second hand just some less expensive ones going about (fleab** for example). Sure some of the Lexus boys will keep you right. My last set were Eibach.

Cheers

TTE springs aren't that expensive from Toyota/Lexus. I paid £131 after discount for mine.

What year is your Sport ? Mine was an early Sport and the TTE springs took it quite a bit lower. The TTE springs are the same as the Eibach ones anyway.

My ride height with TTE springs (measured from ground to top of the arch) is approx 63.5cm at the front and 66cm at the back (with nothing in the boot, no big ICE system etc).

ok, well your Sport will start off lower than mine was originally, since mine is 99. But I'm sure the springs will still drop it. I think that measuring overall ride height is a lot more useful than talking about drops, because there seem to be big variations in OEM ride height and therefore a set of springs will drop different cars by different amounts.
