What lowering springs do you recommend?

If I want to lower the car mildly, like an inch or two. What brand should I get, if I want to keep the softest ride possable. I know by lowering it is going to ride firmer. I'm just looking for the lowest, best (softest) riding spring out there. What do you guys have? What do you like?

Don't order the TRD springs from Toyota. I paid in advance about 6 weeks ago and they are still on backorder. It is been so long they are willing to give me the "non-refundable" $300 back.

I put suspension techniques springs on mine. lowered it about an inch or maybe a little more, but a really bouncy ride. A racing buddy of mine says to use H&R springs instead, because they have a progressive rate that allows for stock ride with normal driving, but stiffen up more when you really press on them in the corners.

I'm using H&R Sport Springs... Love 'em...

They claim to lower the car about 1.4" front and 1.3" rear...

Eibach pro kit. Just had it put on last week. Slightly stiffer ride, but definitly not objectionable. About 1.5 " lower as advertised. KYB struts at the same time. Much better roll resistance.
