Both have roughly a 1 inch drop discuss handling if anyones been lucky enough to ride in both.

DOn't know much about the teins but i've driven an xB with the TRD springs w/ 18" on it and WOW big improvemet. Great handling & they really reduce body roll. The drop is nice to after it fully settles. Hope this is helpful.....

The Teins are way softer than the TRDs...

hotbox05

indeed they are

what do you mean by soft?

mattxb

less jaring, more body roll.

The lower spring rate accomodates a softer ride I believe, where as the TRD's higher spring rate accomodates performance handling.... cornering etc...

aedwards

so would the h-techs be better than the TRD or the other way around?

VGB

I can second that.

I guess better is defined by what you're loooking for...handling or a softer ride?

I'm gonna say the TRD's because they have better handling. Less body roll means better handling. You know when you take a turn and it feels like the car leans to one side? Thats body roll (if you didn't know) and according to what i've read the TEINs don't stop that. However the TRD's do. Hope this helps!!

im not trying to thread jack but could anyone compare the Tanabe DF210s to the TEIN S-techs and TRDs? im wondering about body roll-age, and ride comfort.
