Also, if you are considering these or the Eibach Prokit, pick whichever one is the cheapest for you. For me, TRD was cheaper, even after import fees into Canada. About $50-$60 cheaper than the Prokit even if I got the Prokit locally. The reason I say pick the cheaper one is because they are the same kit. The TRD springs are just powdercoated (or painted?) and rebranded Prokits. The new bumpstops even have Eibach branding one them.

I can confirm the pro-kit reference. TRD USA springs are--for the most part--rebranded Eibach springs.
I have TRD USA springs on my BRZ and went from 26 1/16 to 25 3/16 (front) and 26 7/16 to 25 9/16 (rear), basically a 7/8" drop all around.
Also, as mentioned the bumpstops are Eibach bumpstops and the coil count and rear coil "sleeve" are all the same as the Eibach kit.
The only thing I do not know is if the spring rates are the same. According to TRD's site the spring rates for the TRD springs are proprietary which makes me think they are different from the pro-kit. Nevertheless, the drop is the same, the car rides better than the stock springs and they are cheaper than the pro-kit. What's not to like.
