what would you do .

I have just been offered the chance too purchase
a full TRD Sportivo set up NEW for $500.00NZ ($300.us approx).
It looks like the orginal TRD set up for the yaris , i say this because the springs are white .
can anyone tell me if the spring rates are different between the white and red TRD springs.
Is this set up worth buying in your view .
Comments postive and negative welcome .

^^ Not too much definitive help there.

For 300 US I'd jump all over it.

Don't know if the spring rates are different but @ 300 bucks go for it. That's an awesome deal.

My TRD springs are white and I bought them in the US. They're the same as the others. They made two colors, but they switched from white to red early over here I think.

$300 for all 4 corners? You'd be crazy not to.

Yeah but the cost of sending it is a killer , $260.NZ to Australia so i would say add another $200.NZ to send it state side($600.US Total), it's no
longer cheap for you guys , hopefully my set will arrive's on Monday .
can't wait .
But if anyone is interested i have until Saturday to say yes or no on the secound set.
