Is there a different set of TRD springs, maybe from Japan that are more like the STi Pink springs?

It would be really odd if the US TRD springs claim a 1" drop but only really do 0.5 to 0.75. I could see 7/8 of a drop, like many people have measured from the Eibach Pro-Kit, but to be 1/4 to 1/2" seems a bit too much variance.
I think 0.75" is the initial drop and they settle a little bit over time closer to 1". It also depends on your driving habits. If you take off from a red light slowly, and brake slowly, the car won't settle too much. If you're taking off like a bullet at every red light and braking until your ABS kicks in every time, then the springs will compress a little more and settle a little more.
