tC_vixen New Jersey, US	Ok enough is enough. I have the money already for a set of new springs, and i'm good to go. Only problem is i'm so fickle that I'm still undecided on which ones to buy because I keep changing my mind. Originally I wanted the H-Techs, but i'm scared that when I install them, they wont lower the car enough to my liking. Here are the ones I have in mind: - Tein H-Techs - Tein S-Techs - Hotchkis Coil Springs It would be great to see what your springs look like on your tC's. Which one would you go with? EDITED ::: I ENDED UP GOING WITH THE S TECHS. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THEIR INPUT AND OPINIONS! CLICK TO DONATE & HELP MAKE THIS WONDERFUL SITE OF OURS BETTER!

VIP_tC08 Fort Lauderdale Florida, US Godlike Advisor	Nadia out of those choices definetely Tein S-Techs Tein S-Techs offers ideal lowering springs for drivers who want quicker and better response to drive freely through turns and who are in pursuit of an enhanced driving experience. They offer approximately a 2.4 inch drop in the front and 2.0 inch drop in the rear of your Scion TC for a more aggressive appearance. '08 // Flint Mica // tC

antiks New York, US Chief Mechanic	i would probably go with h techs or maybe trd since your a jersey girl. the roads r no different from nyc roads and you wouldn't want to be to low. me im probably going with trd's

BRsciontc Wantagh New York, US Master Mechanic	They say the TRD springs drop it 1.25" but after they settle, the drop is almost 2".

Prosville Sacramento California, US Oil Changer	iam in the same position. Every site i go to say that the drop with all the springs is different iam just looking for the lowest drop. lets see some pics of S. and H. techs people!

IMO the perfect drop is the hotchkis. it's a balance between looks and drivability. With my stechs, you have to pay attention to the road to make sure you don't hit pot holes and stuff. also hotchkis level the car out where as stechs give it the wedge look. i wish there were a set of springs that dropped it so that the front was 2.4 and rear was 2.6 to make the car even but there isn't Are you in SoCal?

tC_vixen New Jersey, US	Found this on sciongeneration.com Hotchkis tC Sport Coil Springs SPECS: Drop Front: 1.7" Rear: 1.97" I have a box in the back.. I dont want my car looking too picked up in the front. ;/ CLICK TO DONATE & HELP MAKE THIS WONDERFUL SITE OF OURS BETTER!

vastano1 New Hyde Park New York, US Godlike Advisor	the box wont play to much in how ur car sits...i put my box back in and it doesnt seem to sit any lower in the back....the hotchkis drop sounds pretty nice and will probably look pretty sweet since the back is dropped more meaning itll be level....itll have the same drop in front as my car, but the rear will be higher which might run smoother for you click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER

VIP_tC08 Fort Lauderdale Florida, US Godlike Advisor	Nadia i didn't suggest the TRD's, because you didn't have them as one of your choices, but that's what i have on mine, and they are great.. The TRD's will lower your car from 1 to 1.5 inches, front and rear, but i have noticed they lower close to 2 inches once they have settled...and the thing i like about TRD's becides the great handling is that they lower your car evenly, front and rear..

Im thinking its going to be higher in the front. nah i meant they will be higher in the rear compared to mine...they will look more even to the front pretty much...should be level....as far as front clearance...wont be an issue wit 1.7 cuz wen i took my lip off the car doesnt sit that low in the front which is good... pretty much go for your preference, if u want it low low low then do wit the s-techs...the h-techs are in the middle sort of and still give u that wedge style that i remember u saying u liked...and from the numbers hotchkis will give you a more level look but still sexy..... click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER
