k guys, "detroiter" is the winner. Like I said, I wish I had more of these, thank you for posting up!
-- with a favorable review, I will get more of these in stock, and they will be the least expensive spring choice I offer.

I'm going to give them a good thorough review. The roads here in Metro Detroit offer everything from smooth roads to killer car eater sized potholes and rough pavement (more of the latter lol). I drive alot too, city and freeway as well as driving civil and I'm not shy about giving the car a little bit of hell here and there as well. I'm going to be getting some Tokico's very soon here to pair up with these springs so I'll be installing them at the same time. With an 1.5" drop and what seems to be a REAL stiff spring rate, I'm looking forwards to testing these. Not too low of a drop and not real high either, should be perfect for what I had in mind.
I'll be sure to let you guys know the good and the bad, which I'm hoping there will be none of that, and I'll definately be taking pictures as well. |

Ooh, I'm looking forward to this review!
Garm - are these springs that you might be carrying in the future? What's the brand, by the way?

"TigerTec" -- it's a chinese company, same one that produces the front sway bars I have in stock. They look to be very good quality and I was curious about the nice high spring rate.
The truth is in the real world, so if these are good, I'll order more to keep in stock.

The springs just arrived in the mail. They look REALLY good and just by me alone trying to compress them a bit, I can tell these things are pretty stiff. I'll take a picture of them later tonight and post it up. Thanks again Garm!

They will be more than $80 a set, but cheaper than our other spring offerings. Looking forward to the review and pics!

I got the main course meal today, including desert :)
The springs are real beauties! And to my delight, I got another box of goodies not too long after the springs showed up. I can only imagine what my neighbors must be thinking, seeing UPS show up with a big box...then like an hour or so later, FedEx shows up with another big box haha. |

^Yah what the heck. He just defeated the purpose of the discount. How can we get a true review of the springs now? I guess I'll stick with my megans until a stocker buys them and writes a review. The other thing is this guy sold off his TRD springs.

The thing is I never even had the TRD's installed on my car, not really sure what that has to do with anything anyways. And if you read the original post from Garm, I don't see a single mention that the springs are to be reviewed with STOCK shocks/struts, do you? I sure don't. Springs are going to be springs. If they are good, they will show. If they are not worthy, that will come to light as well, regardless of choice of shock. I'll be writing a review how they perform regardless because that's what the spring test is about and that is what WILL happen. They WILL be tested under multiple driving conditions and I WILL be relaying the information of how they hold up, as that's what the test was based on in the first place...not about what shocks I have.

Don't mind them they are just jealous , we all know you are worthy
i would normally say as well , Just get them on and tested so i can buy some , but i just got the TRD setup , but will still be waiting to read your revision and thoughts about them. |
