So like the tittle says its between those 2 for me. I want the lowered stance and the Tanabe has the lower (rear) of the 2 sets. The TRD drops 1.25" all around the Tanabes drop 1.1 Front 1.7 Rear. The TRD stiffens 18% Front and 26% rear where as the Tanabe stiffens no more than 5% over stock. The thing is I also want the tight conering ability. My question is which of the above spring sets would be better to buy for cornering ability and the lowered look. Whichever route I go I will be adding a rear sway bar probably the TRD. Thanks alot.

 

For cornering and lowered? I would say neither of those.

I would say go with Hotchkis or maybe Tein ... they seem to be two of the other more popular ones here (I think my hotchkis drop is perfect).

EDIT: Hotchkis info:

Front 1.7" Drop 175 lbs/in (Stock 150 lbs/in) ~ 16% stiffer
Rear 1.97" Drop 285 lb/in (245 lbs/in) ~ 16% stiffer

 

well I cant go too low I live in Queens NY so really its just between those two. Which is better between those two.

 

You'll get a more jittery ride (stiffer) with the TRD's, and have way b etter cornering.

With teh Tanabe's you'll have close to stock ride combined with close to stock cornering.

 

go with the trd i love them

 

alright TRD it is beside theyre cheaper.

 

Tein H or S Tech's have the best drop imo.

 

What else besides the springs is neccessary to install? (shocks, struts)

 

nothing else is nes\ccessary but if you plan to do them later you might as well do them now to save your self some time

 

I posted this in the Tanabe thread, but who is actually running the NF210's? Reviews?

I'm very interested in the NF's but I'm a little worried about the spring rate being so soft and the drop being substantial in the back. Could cause some problems with the potholes we have in NE.
