I took his advice and I liked the way the car drove a lot better than when I had everything set to full soft. The rear I'm not so sure about yet.

Remember that the TRD spring rates are the same as OEM. I thought that they were stiffer, but they're not apparently (correct me if I'm wrong)
Thanks for the info, appreciate the starting point! Although I thought I've heard that you're not supposed to run Koni's on full hard/stiff?

BTW, I'm having a hard time finding the spring rates for the TRD springs, but they might be different than stock. This thread shows a rate, but it is the rate for the springs on the TRD coilovers, and there is no confirmation that those springs are the same as the USDM TRD springs. See page 8, starting at post 160.
