Default Does eibach = TRD spring

Hi all, I am new to this forum and just got myself a stingray gray xb...
I am having trouble choosing the right combination of spring, anti roll bar and wheel sizes.
I know 19 and 20's looks great but want more performance and mpg instead... so, 17 or 18's will work for me.
No 16's......
Please help....
THANKS.

I don't think Eibach makes the TRD springs. If that's what you're asking. If I remember right, Eibachs didn't come out for quite a while after the TRD's were out.

How much are you wanting to lower your xB?

Thanks for the input.
I don't think TRD do much of manufacturing other than having other company make the stuff for them?!?
I could be wrong but just want to find out for sure.........

Here is everything you need to know about NF springs, including pics on a variety of different size wheels:

Sort of, in that the NF / Pro-Kit are the small drop for each brand, and DF / Sportline are the big drop for each brand.

NF = 1.0"F / 1.7"R
Pro-Kit = 1.0"F / 1.2"R
DF = 1.7"F / 2.1"R
Sportline = 1.2"F / 2.2"R

For the small drop, the NF's even out the ride height better, with both fronts being about the same.

For the large drop, the Sportlines even out the ride height better, but don't drop the front as low as the DF's.

That is all, carry on.
