Naa, too much of a hassle. And I kind of doubt it will fit.
I got in touch with a dealer and he said he could get some Teins.:) Not sure for how much though?
Do you guys think that I should replace my shocks too? I cant find any proof of them being replaced so I am just assuming they are just factory issue. The driver side also sits around 1cm lower than the passenger side.

will be looking at $400...that's for a set of TRD springs with gas shocks... shocks and springs are mint.

I strongly suggest you go with the springs first.. it'll look funny if you go with wheels first

also, like i said, dobis are superlows but I cannot promise your stock shocks will last

Dude thats awesome :) Is it just a straight swap and I am good to go? As in no cert required?
And yeah Thomases x90 is a tad too low to still be practical for my taste. Especially if I was to throw a lip, sides e.t.c on it.

Too low? Wait what? I daily drove a Subaru that was 60mm from the sump. No such thing as too low.

yeah no cert required. just install and off you go. 100% increase in stiffness and a subtle 15mm drop (with plenty of inactive coils you can cut) I think TRD did this on purpose...
