Default Lowering Springs for Facelifted SC

Alright guys.. I personally have tried the difference between half-arsing a suspension and coilovers with my Tundra (went from a Spacer Lift on my 07, to the best on the market ICON Coilovers on my 2010).. Difference was night and day so no need to cover that factor.

Unfortunately, i do not have enough cash at my disposal for a set of coilovers. I would like to drop my (SUV-High) 2010 SC430 a little using a set of good quality lowering springs.

I wanted to go for Tein S-Spec but just found out and confirmed using a search on CL that they will not fit a 2010..

Question is; what will?

I checked H&R, same issue... Swift racing seem to advertise their offering as an 02+.. Having tried their lowering springs on an Evo-X i owned previously; i liked them alot.

Your thoughts please...

Moe

Okay; I guess I will stick to stock ride hight until I can afford a set of coilovers.. If nobody wants to reply then I'm guessing nobody has anything good to say about lowering springs :P

I have an 04 and I got a set of used springs from another member. My wife and I both think the cars rides better with the tien s lowering springs. Didn't really want to go the coil over route, because I know me and I would be changing the setting all the time. I'm told that every time you reset them you'll have to get an alignment. There are a set of spring from toyota at Sewells. Go to the top of the sponsors and look for Sewells thread. they have a set of springs that supposedly fit an SC from 02 to 10. Don't know how that is possible. Maybe get in touch and see what they say. Sorry I don't know how to put it in the tread thingy so you just have to click on it.
