I think the NF's are better than stock, but not nearly as good as the TRD springs. They just aren't as stiff = more body roll = not as big of contact patch on the tires in corners = tire spin = slower.

BTW - I keep thinking your name is Tachikoma :D

Thanks for info, WR. I guess TRD it is! This was actually my first choice anyway, then I (almost) got caught up in the fashion aspect over form/function <glup>

Me and a friend took our cars out last night to run up and down best mountain road nearby and I noticed something bizarre about that body roll--if you go in really reeallly tight on a corner, it actually starts to lean in! Too bad they paved recently--no more gutter run for me!
