Drop Question

Greetings All,

I'm trying to decide whether or not to do a drop on my car. Using my feeble photoshop skills, I did a mock up of what I believe a drop using TRD springs would like like. Would you guys say that what I did would be a fair representation of what it should look like?

The other thing that's affecting my decision is the little lady. She said OK for the drop so long as the car (as she puts it) “doesn't ride like a buckboard over a dirt road!”

I ran a search of the forum for comments on ride quality of the TRD springs. It seems the consensus is that due to the progressive spring rates, the ride is firmer but not too far from stock. The only comments that have me a bit concerned is the part about the ride becoming a little bouncy.

What do you guys think, am I getting anxious over nothing? Note that we do quite a bit of So. Calif freeway driving and our roadways aren't known for their smoothness.

BTW: The wheels are 17" with 225/50/17 Goodyear Responsedge tires on them.
