I have king springs on mine. Apparently they are super lows (I bought them second hand so am just going on what I was told).

They provide about a 35mm drop I believe (I understand Tein's are about the same)

I think it provides a well balanced look for the car. Some corolla wagons I have seen look very low at the back compared to the front which I was looking to avoid.

Only criticism is that they may not be quite low enough. I only have 16's on mine though so they may give the appearance of being lower on a car with 17's.

I have lovells in mine, and it bought it to the exact height i wanted.

I dont have a 'rolla wagon, but just pitching my $0.02.

See the before and after pics:

The pics dont really do it justice. Because the first pic is taken from a slightly higher level than the car, you cant see how much of a hilux it really was, it had HUGE guard gaps.

Now, there's pretty much no guard gap, (note it's settled a little since the pics) and the wheel fits in the guard PERFECTLY. I would change the height one bit.
