Hell yea thats a good price, I got my TRD set a year ago for about 180 dollars or so. They are pretty stiff, I actually like them in terms of comfort and stability than my Intrax. The net says it will drop 1" all around but like batman says, it really is 1.5 in front and 1" in back. For a moment there, I thought I was the only one who had a bigger drop. heh.

I had those springs. I think that "they're the same as the prokit" is an internet myth. I have read several posts on mr2oc.com that suggest that the TRD springs (made by Eibach) are linear and not progressive (like the prokit and sportlines). I understand that most people that try both like linear springs more.

I liked mine and would buy them again.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

those TRD springs pictured are progressive, but possibly less progressive than most. the coil spacing is not even, it gets closer (stiffer) at the bottom. Linear rate springs have evenly spaced coils from top to bottom.
