Most of the time I am very satisfied with the ride. On certain roads where the pavement is a little wavey the ride is kinda bouncey for me. I am going to put some koni rear shocks on and see if that will help with the bounce. I really like being able to adjust it. That aspect is awesome.

I dropped the rear down a little more this morning. I will be driving around today to let it settle. Here are the revised photos along with height comparisons witht he TRD's

Front with TRD Springs

Front with Progress Coils

Rear with TRD Springs

Rear with Progree Coils

Current threads left on rear

The ride at this height is very good. I would say it is equal to that of the TRD springs. I do agree with Ohmen though, on wavey roads it does seem a little bouncy. The ride seems better after I dropped the rear down little.
