Someone else suggested the camber kit. I'll be looking into that. Today I put in the Paseo Rear struts and springs with the Tercel Top-hat. That gave me a drop in the rear of about 1.5 inches and the Paseo springs are much stiffer.

What brand springs did you use and where did you get them.

Thanks T-cel89.

Oops!
I didn't remember that you already told me the brand name of your lowering springs in the other post T-cel89.

absolutely and it imported everything from TRD, Japan. i used linier springs (kidney busters!) a front swaybar (useless for short track) and all of the struts. i also have a full rollcage and many chassis stiffening devices.
