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.

I dont even know what you are arguing about,
I was pointing out the fact that many of the trd parts are restamped or designed by different company.
2. I was pointing out fact that the reason why trd went such a mild drop is to keep the suspension dynamics of the vehicle. So i wasnt arguing there,
3 many aftermarket companies just slam the car and add intake and etc hoping it will perform. And it just doesnt work like that. Many cars de-perform due to aftermarket parts.
