TRD is an equal drop of ~1.25 inches front and rear.
NF210s do not drop equally front and rear. They spec at 1.1" front, 1.3" rear.

My preference is an equal drop all around, and therefor would not personally choose NFs. They are also quite a soft spring. I believe TRDs are a bit stiffer.

Thanks for your info.......my concern is that for TRD that is more stiffer, will it be really bumpy when driving?

Nope, still quite comfortable. My Megans are way stiffer than TRD, and my ride still isn't that bad.

Ic, I might go for TRD at the end, thanks for the information

In comparison to stock, are the TRD springs a noticeably stiffer ride? I really want to lower my car, but I hate feeling every bump and crack I drive over...

i had eibach prokits on my car all winter

going from megan coilovers to softer progressive-rate springs felt like i was driving a cadillac (comparitively speaking, of course)

trd's will likely feel firmer than stock, but not bladder busting
