I am....but I do plan on lowering it in the future.



Here's one with the contrast and brightness tweaked so you can see the tires. I need to talk better pictures.

Yeah.....235/40/18 Falken 912's, on Sportmax 502's.....18x7.5 (I think) offset +42.

Only other mod is the TRD rear swaybar.

When you are in the area.....let me know if you want to have a look. You must work around here.

Costa Mesa to Lawndale....that's a good commute!

I bought them with the car, but the dealership got them from Victoria Tire. http://victoriatire.com/

Yes....I know. The last couple of days I have been undecided between the NF210's and a great deal on TRD's.

I realize the NFs are bit more compliant than the TRDs, but what I don't want is to give in to more body roll than I have with my stock springs and TRD rear sway bar.

My logic is telling that because of the more initial compliance of the NF's, they will also cause the car to roll more initially. Does that make sense?

I don't want to lower the car just for the sake of aesthetics, I want better handling too.

The NF's handle much better than the stock springs, but if you're willing to sacrifice some ride quality, the higher spring rate TRD's will be the better of the two for handling. If you have an opportunity to get a great deal on the TRD's, go for it.
