My 2010 Corolla S

Got this about a year ago and just slowly working on it. Haven't gotten to lowering it yet but will get around to it. Still debating if i should go with Coilovers or Springs. Leaning towards springs right now but not sure which ones. Heres some pics on what i've done so far:

Once Again looks GREAT! springs would be a decent option and definately the cheaper option.

From Markham, ON? If so, I suggest either TRD/Eibach springs. Anything lower than those/coilovers will give you trouble in the winter time. I am from edmonton, I switched from my S-tech to TRD. With the S-Tech, I am scraping everywhere, no to mention they are too low for our extreme winter road condition. TRD is great for winter driving and it provides a nice clean look with improved handling.

Oh man, thanks for the heads up, i was just searching up the S-Tech. I'll definitely look into the TRD springs. How much do they cost?
And What about the H-Tech, i was also looking at those....didnt look as low as the S-Tech.

Thanks! The Left switch is for my fog lights, the middle switch turns on and off my auto lights and the right switch turns on and off my sub.

Trade my stec for the TRD with knitrider09.....then he didnt like it as it is too low for our road, then he switched back to stock and recently he totalled his car.

TRD rear sway bar beats the front strut bar every time for bang for the buck handling improvement, and ease of install as well.
