Suspension & Tyre advice
What suspension are people running? I want to lower my car slightly to give it better presence, but keep a little bit of comfort in doing so. Coilover's are a no no, so I'm really only looking at lowering springs for my black billies.
Now tyres, I was going to run 225/40/17 on 8j front, and 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 on 9j rear.
I was planning on putting the car on track this year, but it won't be an out and out track monster.
Cheers for any advice

Ive not fitted them yet but I have some TRD lowering springs, TRD front and rear ARB, TRD front and rear braces and a set of yellow billies. Just got to find the TRD bush set then suspension will be replaced.
Re: Suspension & Tyre advice
im currently looking to do the same with mine so interested in what people think regarding this!
i was going to use apex springs because going by what i've read on other forums they're pretty compfortable and only lower the car by about 30mm which i believe is what TRD originally did? might also be worth organising a small group buy if a few others need the same springs? just a thought!
regarding tyres, i'm running 215/40/17 on 8j's on the front and 245/40/17 on 9js at the rear. i also had 255/40/17's fitted to the rears for a while which made the rear wheels sit further out (or at least look like they did!)

Cheers Jack, I think I'll go for some 215 & 245 40 17's
I bought G-Max springs as a tempoary measure to get the ride height how I want to, well to trial it.

Re: Suspension & Tyre advice
Is there any websites that sell the TRD lowering springs?

Contact Aaaron above - he works for a Toyota dealer in the USA that regularly gets TRD stock :-) Good place to get ARBs too.
