It looks like the front doesn't really drop much at all. The rear is definately noticeable, but the front looks stock height. I might just go for the TRD springs

I actually have the NF prototype on my xD, I lent them my car for them to test the springs out on.

[edit] Haha! They used my car for the pictures! :D Thats sooo cool. I saved all four to my desktop haha.

yea your pictures actually show a little more of a drop im the front im not sure if it might be because of your driveway or not. Or when they took the pictures the springs might not have had a chance to settle. Nice none the less

Nah, its actually the drop and not the driveway. It's a pretty nice ride now, even though it was nice before the springs

Wondering if youve had any problems with the springs? They probably settled by now, did they get any lower?

You know... I don't know! I drive my car and I only look at it when I'm washing it. I've had absolutely no problems with the springs so far. As far as being a bit lower.. maybe. If it did settle a smidgen lower I can't tell.

It's a very nice ride compared to the stock springs I'll tell you that
