I like the 15" Koning Helium bronze and a mild drop like the Tanabe DF or Progress springs. Where is the place to get the Helium's with tires and lugs plus the springs for a great price? Also, what size tires do I want that wont rub. I do have back seat passengers on occasion.
I thought there was a vendor on this forum that sold the Helium's.

Bump for some help. I want Bronze Helium's 15" and some decent all season 195/55-15 riding on DF springs. Is this a good combo for everyday driving? I dont want any rub issues at all. Anyone point me in the right direction to purchase this set-up?

I just talked to him as a matter of fact. Will this work well with the DF springs? No rubbing?

it would be a good idea to get a set of tokico blues as well as a rear sway bar if you can swing it

DF210s aren't really considered a mild drop, and the DF210s are I think an inch lower than progress springs. Do you mean NF210? Either way, talk to Garm(cali_yaris who posted above) and he'll help you find whatever your looking for with springs.

OK, Got a good deal on the Bronze Helium's and Cooper CS4's, see link, http://www.coopertire.com/cs4/index.html from Good-Win. Picked up some new DF springs from the For Sale section.

I would look into some new shocks as stated above. The DF210s are not healthy for the stock shocks and will wear them down significantly faster than was intended by toyota.

Who has got those Blue shocks and what do they go for. Do they make a big difference?

TDR's? Havent seen them that I know of. I like the Helium and the weight is low. Who has the blue shocks on sale?

Good wheel/tire choice. See GARM (caliyaris) for the Tokico Blues shocks/struts. You'll be very pleased with the ride and the price.

i use the TDR (team dynamics racing). they are 13 lbs as well, but they are 15x7 as well as a lower offset. I like my wheels to fit very flush, although with a +25, it could probably use another 5mm spacer all around for my taste. so they are a half in larger and fit better (as long as you arent kimona.)
also, i havent seen multiple threads about the TDRs exploding on track haha

If they're good enoug for the British Touring Car Championship (http://www.btcc.net/html/home.php), they're good enough for me!
