I have the same kit, and I wouldn't recommend much lower than either TRDs or H&Rs. I still had my Tanabe Super Down springs installed when the kit came in from Japan, and when I put it on I had hell to pay trying to drive around. I couldn't even make it up my driveway and into my garage, and my driveway isn't steep.

I installed the coilovers asap and raised the car up a bit, so now I'm sitting at more of a 1.7" drop in the front, and maybe 2" rear... and still struggling.

Luckily I have a 2nd car that I use to drive places I know my car can't make it into.
