Ok, I swear I've read every post about lowering springs on here, and on other sites. There is so much great information. I just cannot choose which springs are right for me.
I want a slight drop, close that gap over my 15" Konig Feathers.
Would also like a bit stiffer, sportier ride than stock. I don't like soft and floaty.
I will be combining them with the Tokico Blues and a rear sway bar (TRD or Ultra Racing 19mm).
I've narrowed it down to the Tanabe NF210's, Eibach Pro-Kit, or TRD Springs.
I could use some input from all you pros!
THANK YOU!
P.S. Windows are getting tinted tomorrow.

NFs if you want it to close the gap, firm up but not be TOO aggressive.

I installed the TRD's when I bought the car. They are sport I believe as they're Grey. The ride was nice with these and the drop was 1.2. What is your tire size? (I am selling now as I have Tein coil overs)

Out of those, the Pro-Kits are the best spring.

I still have the NF210's that I got from Garm a couple of years ago and they still work great. :thumbsup:

HAHA, great, an endorsement for each one I'm considering
Thanks for the input! Looks like I can't lose choosing any of them.
Cali Yaris, I think you are the one they call "Garm", in what way is the Eibach the best spring? Just overall quality?
"upgraded yaris." Thanks for the offer on your TRD's, I'm going to wait a little longer before making my final decision and purchase. I'll check back with you, if I decide on those, see if you still have them.
My wheels are 15's, tires 185/60-15.

And yes, I for sure intend on buying as much of these items as I can from MI. Awesome resource and online store!

Get MI springs

I think the MI's are a lower drop than I'm going for, and aren't they pretty stiff? I want to feel a bit sportier, but not be jostled around all the time.
What is your experience with them?

I am leaning heavily towards the Eibach Pro-kits now. I want it to feel fun and sporty, and close those wheel gaps, but not be a pain in the butt (no rubbing or scraping driveways).
Of course there is a part of me that wants to go lower, with the TRD or Sportlines. But for someone who mt. bikes and camps a lot, a little ground clearance is probably a good idea.
Thanks for the input y'all!

Anybody have any experience with, or opinions on the H&R Sports Springs???
If I decide I want a slightly larger drop than the Eibach Pro's??? Ride quality, etc? I don't see them used very much on the Yarii here.
The Eibach Sportline is just a little too much of a drop for me, but the Pro's might be a little too little.
I love the look of the drop with the Tien's and Eibach sports, but I think it is just too much for me.
