I too would like to get in contact with JDMJim or justin for an install of springs. Plus where does Justin work out of? After looking at Fujiz.com, I'm wondering about which to get. I was leaning toward TRD springs just cause I know that they are kind of soft and not too rough. But Jim can you help me about these springs or anyone:

Tanabe DF210 Series Sport Springs (Front -1.7", Rear -2.2") &

Progress Technology Sport Springs (Front -1.8", Rear -1.8")

The Progress has some info on Fjiz.com, but not the Tanabe. These are pretty cheap for springs and was wondering if I'm going to get a cheap product too? (no offense to fujiz.com)

Help a newer guy out and thanks in advance for your help!

trd is a slight drop and u will prob want new springs after a year, cuz it will look like stock to u by then.
ive heard good things about progress and not much about tanabe.
check the tc thread on suspension and compare what u want w/ what they offer.
tein s techs r what i have and they r LOW but i dont mind the ride at all. keep in mind if u buy these to go through someone like fujiz of a dealer authorized seller, because there are fake teins being sold.

Thanks for the help, please keep it coming. Why is it that the Progress Tech. Sport Springs seem to go from a wide spiral to a narrow spiral? Does this have its pros or cons? Do these springs make it a rough ride? Plus is Fujiz out of IL? Just wondering!
Thanks

some springs have what is labeled a 'progressive spring rate' -- this means they become stiffer as the spring is compressed. what this design allows for is a 'stock-like' ride with normal driving, at the same time giving you a firmer/better handling ride when you push thru the corners. it is the best of both worlds for a spring.

and fujiz is located here in IL

Thanks for the info guys. Fujiz_xb: I'm not a SE member yet but I guess I should. If you guys think it is worth it, then I'm in. I guess the membership will pay for itself with discounts from sponsors there. If you guys disagree, let me know if it is a waste.

I think I'm sold on the Progress Tech. Sport Springs. Look for a purchase soon Fujiz, by the way, nice box and bling on you cardomain.

So is this spring install really happening on the 4th? if so, where is the post and where and when will it take place? I want in for sure! This will also give me a better chance to meet more of you. Thanks for all you help everyone. Let me know about the meet on the 4th please.

thanks for the support.
check the thread out below. you will see how good SE is and why it is not a waste of time. the fuji missed weddings, parties, etc..just to hang out with SE. i cant do that to much this year but ill attend most of the vents that i can.

thanks on the compliments about the xb and bling. i have new mods not on there. hehe.

Well I decided to not wait and I finally became a member of Scion Evolution. Yeah for me! I sent in my payment and the paper application will be sent tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing what it is like. Look for me posting on there soon. I going to purchase my springs and hopefully they will arrive in time for install day. I hope to be one of those spring installs on the side. Sign me up!!!

So if it's ucyib2papi or bpsciontc or sean or jose or whoever, sign me up for the springs! I look forward to a fun day with you guys, maybe some girls, some sun, maybe some drinks, and just a good old time! Keep me posted for this day.
