Default New Springs and Struts... Tokico!!!

Well I finally decided to drop the tC. It was a long and hard process but I came to the conclusion that the TRD springs would be best. Some have said that the springs can be a bit rough on the ride but Ive been talking to some manufactures who initially said they weren't going to support the tC and convinced them otherwise. They had these laying around from R&D and asked me if I wanted to be the first to have them:



Hopefully if they improve the ride enough, Tokico will actually start making these for everyone else. Thanks for looking.

Aren't the TRD springs progressive? In that case they wouldn't affect the ride too much. I've read people saying the ride got BETTER. But they had stock shocks and stiffer shocks will affect ride quality a lot more than springs (well at a reasonable spring rate, I guess)

Tokico illuminas adjust compression and rebound so cranking them up will definately kill ride quality, I know this first hand. Konis AFAIK adjust rebound only (compression is a little higher, but relatively fixed) so you can get better handling without coughing out your internal organs. Bad thing is the rears aren't adjustable with the shock on the car (konis). Are the illuminas going to be adjustable while still onthe car? Haven't taken my car apart yet so I don't know if it would even be possible if they wanted to make it that way.
