Sick man, tha 1jz guy

After reading what you're thinking about doing, I think this setup should really be perfect for what you want. It has 8" 250lb 2.25in springs up front (cheap on ebay) and 3.5 coils cut in the rear. I also shortened the struts and used the saab shocks. Cheap as hell, I think I have like $100 invested total (excluding front end refresh), and you can be as slammed as you want with this setup. The key is the rate/length of spring you pick, if you wanted to be a little fancier you could add the afco sleeves. I think in the future I might try a 7" 350lb or something, the 250s are pretty soft and it's a bit low for a softish rate.

Here is my TB post about it, let me know if you have any more questions about it.

How are the 250's as far as softness? I am currently running 350's x 8" with the Koni Yellow/afco setup on my S70 and it's stiff as hell.
