TRD Springs Vs Tanabe DF210...The Title Bout

[cali yaris]

i did not mean that the rates are lower than stock, i mean that they're lower than they should be, considering the amount of drop they offer.

ah got it, I would tend to agree with that, but I also prefer a stiffer ride over stock. Tanabe designed the springs that way because 15% offsets the amount they lower the car (the NF210's, with a milder drop are 5% over stock). So you get a lowered car with about the same ride quality. In my experience, the ride is actually just a little bit stiffer than stock.

I have NF210's and my car looks low enough for me, I like the looks and love the ride, much better than stock (not as mushy and not as stiff, just right)
