i would pretend like you know this as a "fact". even then, you think Toyota would just adopt a product to sell as a non-engineered part? please. they must have had very specific parameters to select a product to adopt (assuming eibach really makes these).

i aint vow for it, ill test drive these springs before i folk 2-3k out for them there's no doubt about that but to say that a giant like Toyota can't engineer a damn set of lowering springs worth the money is a fking insult. the physic of lowering the center of gravity doesn't change from car to car, its the matter of knowing the optimum set of values and who know that better than the one who designs the car? the stock springs may not be the optimum ones the cost of the car could easily forces compromises.

and really such statement "a stock STI beats a "tuned" STI" therefore "not-engineered parts are garbage" doesn't make sense on so many levels.
