Default quick spring question

Alrighty, I'm thinking about getting some springs for the Box... All I have ever considered are the Df210's.... so I know what I want. However, I saw these on the TRDSparks website, and I was wondering if anybody around here run them, and if they like 'em, or at least heard stories about 'em:

They would be the Progress Technology Sport springs...


And yea, I did a search.

i run them and love them..
ride is awesome.. little stiffer then stock, nice mid level drop.. they dont quite tuck my 18's but its a very comfy ride and no scraping...
i got them because i have heard others complain about other springs being too "bouncy" or being too stiff, or being too low for daily driving around Los Angeles area.... these are not so stiff that they will hurt your back, but to me stiff enough to be sporty and improve handeling with a nice drop on stock shocks / struts. I may consider going to echo struts / shocks when my stocks get soft, just to go 1/2 inch lower and closer to tuck, but the ride will stay the same, the echo struts have the perch 1/2 inch lower, they are not shorter struts...

Also, i have the rear sway bar and its top shelf.. i can't say anything bad about progress tech, customer service is awesome.. they sent me tons of spring wrap when i called them and offered to replace my springs if the wrap didn't fix the creeks and moans the springs were making while they were settleing... the pic shown on trd sparks is old though, the springs are a different color now... mine were grey to match the rear sway..

All in all, i would buy from them again...

Aside from the fact that they won't drop your car as much, they're fine.

I doubt that it comes with the RSB. I think it's just a stock picture. That price for both seems too good to be true, plus the description doesn't say anything about it.

Technically, but I think you'd have a hard time fighting that.
