dude, seriously

try to understand this simple concept

the ride comfort of a car is never determined by whether it is on coilovers or springs, but on how those coilovers/springs are setup in conjuction with everything else, and if you even bought the correct coilover for the application.


otherwise, you're essentially saying that your penut butter and jelly sandwiches taste better when you use a fork to spread the penut butter instead of a knife.

It depends on whom TRD USA chooses as the manufacturer. If they choose Progress, as they did for the Scion tC, the ride was nice for a daily driver and they were good about custom valving/spring rates if you had the $$$.

Good to hear
It will likely end up as a weekend ride and I'll keep my current beater as a dd

Just to get an idea how much were they for the tc?
