Default broke in stock then TRD install

Just curious for those of you who did your own install.
Who here put some time on their stock setup shocks and springs, and then had the TRD added?
I have my xB on order and am really debating still to have them just put on.
Did you really feel a turning difference now? The xB does feel top heavy more than the xA, and I wonder if getting the TRD's will make it feel about the same as the xA is stock.

2-3 more weeks!
oh wait its going to be my wifes ride

i've done 40+ Scion spring installs. Its not that difficult. The trd's will be a little stiffer than stock. It doesnt really matter if you put time on your stock paets then get springs (as long as you arent hammering on them and they are worn out). I dont think the xB feels top heavy at all.

well I drive a Mini so, its just that strange feeling when you drive a new car thing..
once you drive it for a few weeks that goes away, but thats why I am asking about those who have driven theirs for a while and then did the drop.
At this point I am prob not going to bother, because after all the woman is going to be the driver, but if anyone wants to go on the record and say its night and day worth it.
then i'll have the dealer install the package.

its night and day on Goldline's, spy's, or other high quality 2" spring (not Sprint!). The TRD's are a very mild drop.
