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 have heard that TRD Japan springs are more aggressive. I am speaking from personal experience with my tC. I had TRD USA springs and it did not provide more than a .5-.75" drop. They are not aggressive. I don't think these springs are any different at all. I was disappointed in the drop or lackthereof. That's why I have learned my lesson and going to a less aggressive coilover system.
