Micro Image branded springs

[cali yaris]

Hey everyone,

we have an opportunity to produce our own springs.

I would like you to post up your optimum drop and front/rear spring rate, so I can get a feel for what choices to make.

I can't do more than one at this time, so I want to be careful to please as many customers as possible.

your thoughts?

[RHDVIPbB]

hmm...where to begin. I would prefer something slightly stiffer than what TRD offers. A 2" drop would be ideal.

^ that is basically the AOE TigerTecs we have now. Almost a 2" drop

but how much stiffer are they?

[coffiend]

Real low and real stiff is my vote :)

Tanabe DF210-like drop but with 99k spring rate.

[SilverBack]

Make 'em like the Autocross-tested Progress I'm running:

-Front drop: 1.7" --- Rear drop: 1.8"
-Front rate: 110 lbs/in --- Rear rate: 130 lbs/in (not sure how to measure this in K)

It's stiff as hell, corners on a dime, zero rubbing, and zero bottoming-out

This. DF 210s but twice as firm please. Maybe slightly less of a drop.

if i were to make my own spring, id do something that no one else has

since you basically sell springs for every kind of drop from 1.2 to 1.9 inches, id probably offer a SUPER LOW spring- like a 2.2-2.5 inch drop all around with an appropriately stiff spring rate.

if i had to choose, it would be like a 7k f 5k r rate.

of course this is just me but when there are so many options out there, why not capture a section of the market that no one else touches? i know a lot of people want to go that low but dont want to buy coilovers

the biggest thing im concerned about when i look at springs is making sure the rear doesnt drop lower than the front.

[TEHxFALLEN V1.2]

I like how the DFs sit, just wish they were stiffer.

[redn3ck]

somethin good fer the sedans!! id like somethin in the 2.5f/2.25r and say 6kf/4kr? low and stiff please!! and a good price too!

im on df210s now and its too soft and not low enough fer me

[AdeJong 03]

it looks like a lot of people who want to go low are already on the stechs and want to go lower.



im totally in for something that drops 2.2-2.5 inches all around.

preferably a little lower in the front so my suspension wont be uneven with cargo or passengers in the rear

I like having my 3" dropped plus with the body kit on it seems even lowerd. it just suck to go up drive ways

The pics in your garage don't look like 3" - what are TRD 3" springs anyways.

[LA Yaris]

No TRD There Magnum Racing springs.

I agree. I wish my DF210s were another 1/2 inch to and inch lower.

I want stiffer stock height springs. Screw low, it's all about ground clearance.
