Sorry, I screwed up the tire size there. You are right, for the record: 15" Tire size = 185-60-15 14" Tire size = 175-65-14

i'd go Tanabe's
installing TRD springs voids your warranty just as quickly lol, unless you really wanna get raped by install prices from the dealer. |

Installing springs will void the warranty of what? The only thing affected would be the rear shocks and front struts which are replaceable parts anyway. How long does Toyota cover those parts in the first place? I would forget about voiding your factory warranty and install the springs you want regardless of brand. I do, however, like the TRD's best. Why?
DF210's- Too much drop for me although they are the most inexpensive. NF210's- perfect amount of drop, cost little more. TRD's- Perfect amount of drop and factory made for this car, cost about the same as NF210's. Teins- way too much drop. Amount of drop is purely individual preference but will affect handling. |

DF210: Rougher ride than stock, stays much flatter in turns and braking NF210: Comfortable ride, stays flatter in turns and braking than stock, although the rear springs may not feel firm enough TRD: Roughest ride of the bunch, similar charactaristics to DF210 Tein: Rides about the same as the DF, very firm in cornering and heavy braking I'd say this is about what I'd expect, I've never used Tanabe springs but everyone seems to sing thier praises on this car, most of the cars I've driven I've used Tein springs on, usually noticably rougher than stock, but handling charactaristics become very predictable and controllable. As for the TRDs... not to badmouth Eibach, as I know some people do like them, but I've always found them to be too rough, they will wear you down after driving with them for extended periods of time, and I've found they usually aren't the best in the market for improving handling, although they certainly do give an attractive drop, that's the problem, I've found Eibachs to be much more cosmetic oriented than comfort or performance oriented. Just listen to the other members reviews of the springs they use and make your decision with what you feel suits you best, I think I'll be breaking my tradition of buying Tein springs and going for a set of Tanabe NF210s |

TRD's ride the roughest? Maybe I want the NF210's. This is my next mod and I don't want a rough ride.

it's what I've been meant to understand from a friend that tested the DF and the TRD and kept the DF, and it doesn't really shock me, it's been the same story on two cars I personally used Eibachs on, it took a week before I was installing a set of TEINs on both of those.
