im totally in for something that drops 2.2-2.5 inches all around.

preferably a little lower in the front so my suspension wont be uneven with cargo or passengers in the rear
I agree. I wish my DF210s were another 1/2 inch to and inch lower.

I want stiffer stock height springs. Screw low, it's all about ground clearance.

I say lets go for value. Low price 1.5 inch all around. It would be great if newbies could get springs for short money and not have to change their shocks or bottom out in the winter

^ that's for drivers who can handle oversteer. It's a very important reason why most companies don't do that.

Most customers want to lower their cars for stance and as a secondary effect, handling. Not the other way 'round. That's just a fact of the marketplace.

These are ALL good ideas, everyone. There is no right or wrong to it. Success on a first try out would mean more choices in the future.

So I have to consider all possible segments before choosing one to commit to.

Thank you all

I do agree that their probably would be a decent amount of customers who would love a spring that is stock height, yet considerably stiffer. It's like what was once said long ago though...you can't please all the people all of the time. A MI brand spring would be really cool though for sure

^ eh, idk about that. Stock height on a Yaris sits like an AMC Eagle.

i would swap out the S. Techs a buy new MI springs if they were lower and real stiff.

But the S techs are already pretty darn low, are they not? And I was just going by what seems that their's alot of people who don't want to be lower due to crummy roads or winters, yet they would like to get rid of the horrendous body roll that exists.
