Aftermarket springs with minimal Drop

Can anyone recommend a good set of springs with minimal drop (<1inch back and front) on my 97 camry LE V6? I plan to get new struts (KYB? ANy other good suggestions that provides excellent ride quality and excellent control?) and new rims (16 or 17inches) and I dont want it to scrub). Please any recommendations?

you could find them on ebay.com
price is fair.

you could go with KYB struts if you want a softer ride.
or go with Tokico if you want stiffer. But many people including me would recommand Tokico
you can also find them on ebay.

You should be okay with 17" or even 18" rims with the Tokico and Eibach combo. Very good ride quailty i would say.

Other springs you can consider would be H&R, or Tein etc.

I heard the Tokico's are pretty jarring. If that's the case i'll go with the KYBs. Can you give me the exact model numbers of the springs and Tokico Struts?

wow didnt realize the tokicos were so expensive. I think I will stick with the eibach springs and the KYB struts. THe Tokicos might be too jarring for me anyways.
