The G6 Grill you can order it by your local Toyota dealer , I won,t drop it 40mm with original shocks i would go max 35mm with the original shocks ;)

I have Apex springs with a 40mm drop and they have improved the handling and look of the car, however i have koni shocks too so not sure what it would be like on the stock shocks.

You'll find standard shocks wear out quicker with lowering springs. My front ones went soon after it was lowered so I fitted KYB +20% stiffer ones. The rears were fine though :thumbsup: I used the Fensport lowering springs which were superb.

I did the job properley and got the set of Fensport springs and the KYB shocks together.

Handles fantasticly, just after a strut brace and some light weight wheels! Wolfrace 17's weigh a ton!

The suspension on the pre-facelift and facelift mdels are the same so springs and shocks will be the same for both
