 i want to run 19' inch rimes with like a 1.5 in drop all the way around can i just buy springs and do this. if so what springs. and will i run into any problems with just the springs. what is the best setup to go with to do this. and how can i keep my same ride quality?

 TRD springs.

mild drop... probably what you're looking for.

 Yeah the trd is what your lookin for, i think thats exactly what the drop is on those, 1.5". You might run into problems with your shocks after a while, but it all depends on how you drive too.

 1.2 inch is the trd.. it should be a good drop and you will be fine just doing springs but get shocks if you can..

 you'll kill your performance with 19s, but hey, whatever floats your boat. THough with 19's they'll probably be at least 8" wide, so you need to watch your offset and tire size to make sure they don't rub with the drop. Safe bet would be to go with 18's. you KNOW they most likely won't have issues because the optional Enkei wheels for the tc are 18s and they also offer the trd springs, and you know they wouldn't offer that combo if there would be any problems. sorry, this post was way longer than it needed to be. Someone please flame me.

 depending on what 19's you get, some of them are lighter than alot of the 17's and 18's people have on here.

 weight aside, there is more rotational surface area to spin, more friction and parasitic loss. And the 19's that are lighter than 17s are mad butt expensive too.
