I have 18" wheels and want to drop it just enough to cover the gap but not way too low. Any one have pics of their fender gaps along with what springs installed or at least suggestions?

I love the drop I have with my Skunk2 springs and 18" wheels. They are pretty low 2.25" front and 2.50" rear drop so I don't know if you want to go that low. I pretty much have no fender gap all around.

The TRD front are generally higher than the stock front. If I went w/ your setup, I would probably be scraping like crazy! :(

if you look at my sig...you can see the drop/gap. I have tein ss-p full coilovers. And if you have 18" wheels, you are going to experience rubbing unless you jack ur suspension up just cause the car was designed for 15" wheels. but mine dont rub unless i am turning extreme right or left, and they dont rub much. Theres my 2 cents.

Tein Basics (2 inch lowered all around):

The reason I switched to basics is beacuse I hate the higher rear even though is lowered.
With coils, you can adjust the height to whatever you like.
