For some time now i have been searching the forum for opinions on which are the best springs and i decided to go with the Eibach Pro-Kit. For some reason though every dealer i have contacted says they can't find them.(Some even say they are discontinued).
So now i'm leaning towards the Tein springs. The thing is i am a little concerned about how the uneven drop would affect the handling of the car(-36mm front,-24mm back from tein website). I know many people here have good things to say about them ,but it made me want to consider the Trd springs instead. I haven't heard many opinions on how the Trd springs handle so please help me decide. P.S. Does the linear design make the Trd springs stiffer all around?? Another note: Will i have any clearance issues? I now run on 7.5*16 rims with 205/50R16 tyres. --------------------  |

it seems that tires that you are running seem to be in overall sime size as stock, the extra wheel inch is lowered by the 50 side tire. I have tein, i love them. I dont know where you will find TRD, cause i dont know if they still sell them.

the teins drop the car a bit lower than the TRD springs. The TRD are the EXACT SAME as the Eibach Pro-Kit, they are just badged as TRD.
The TRD have a less bumpy ride than the Teins IMO, and there are some TRD spings on ebay right now for about $230ish. -------------------- |

I thought the progressive wound design of the Teins would make the ride more comfortable. than the linear design of the Trd's.

I have TRDs with KYB GR-2s and the rise feels just like stock, I mean before that I had the original shocks/struts so going from worm suspension componets to new one might have something to do, but I don't have a bumpy rise at all, the drop is perfect for me, I can drive on any road without leaving pieces of my car everywhere.

That is actually a good thought. But no they do not. We would think our cars would balance each other out but they always slant lower on the front unless you have adjustable coilovers. It is a given fact that most cars including ours, have a bigger arch in the front which also makes the front appear higher. For my opinion on TRD springs since I used to have them on, You wouldn't even notice in ride comfort that anything has changed (lowered).
