Default How to avoid killing my new Toyos after drop?

I just a new set of wheels/tires, im running pretty standard issue wheels:

Volk GT-S
19x9.5 +17 Front
19x10.5 +18 Rear

Currently on stock suspension/springs. Ofcourse i need to lower the a car a bit, right now it looks like its on stilts lol and from most of the reading and searching here i realize that if i dont take the right steps to lower the car, i will eat up the tires.

I only want a lower ride height. I never push the car hard, never take to track, anything...so I decided to only get springs..Tein S-Tech to be exact. But what else should I buy and have installed on the car now to avoid killing these new tires. i rather keep the car as it is until i can save the needed cash to buy the parts to do it right.

so what else do i need besides springs??

This is only me, but I tend to push my car harder in corners since I dropped my car...

Roll your fenders if you need to. It will save you a big head ache.

You can rent the tool at "Rollyourfender.com"

just to be safe and make sure that you can get your alignment specs... pick up a set of the rear SPC Camber Kit... its dirt cheap and will be useful regardless.
