pics of trd lowering springs?

Could you guys with TRD springs post some pictures for me? I'm trying to decide on what springs to get, it's between tanabe nf210 or TRD but can't find any good pics of yari lowered with them, thanks!

Here's mine, kind of from an angle (before installing some eyelids. Eyelid pictures in my garage). I ran the DF210's for a couple of months and rubbed over the bigger bumps. I decided to get the TRD's. Personally, I'm glad I did! The TRD's are progressive, meaning the more they compress, the more the springs resist the compression. No more rubbing either! Also, no matter what springs you get, make sure to get a front end alignment after about a week. There are no alignment adjustments for the rear of our cars.

Thanks, love your sedan!
Yeah I think I'm gonna go with trd since I've read some people had their tanabes dropping lower in the back and I want it to be an even drop

I have air shocks in the rear so it's slightly raised. TRD springs though.

Looks real good, I'm still undecided between TRD and Eibach

I think it depends on the amount of drop you want. I am probably going to get a set of Eibachs myself because the drop is only one inch. Looks relatively stock with a more responsive ride. Probably versatile enough to be driven in light snow.

Probably not something you have to worry about!
