quick question:

do the trd coilovers have a stiffer spring rate than the trd spring/strut combination?

looking to do some autoxing but wanna stick with trd

uh... trd springs are REALLY soft. no spring alone will be stiffer than a spring that comes on a full coilover.

yea, i noticed the trd lowering springs/struts were kinda soft for "performance"

so i wanted something stiffer for better handling
so are the trd coilovers stiffer??

i had TRD coilovers and sold them to 08tc...

they are stiffer than stock and do get rid of some of the body roll, however, i found them a little too soft after a while, but thats just me

yup yup i bought from don. i like them a lot. i havent really had the chance to try them out at stock height or lowered 1.5 inches....when i put them on i maxed the front, i got room to go in the back, here's the drop i got right now...its pretty bouncy due to the drop.

probably not as stiff as most coilovers. as o8tC said, he feels its bouncy because the spring rates are too low for that kind of drop.
