It can feel fast, but a softer set up will be easier to drive, more consistent over different types of surfaces, have a better balance, and be more comfortable as a DD.

Thanks Andrew! I tried to find out the TRD spring rates but the best I could find was 3.5/5.8
Should I Shoot for this ratio on the coilovers say 4.8/8 for example or am I comparing apples to oranges.
I would think that stiffer springs on the front would not help understeer tendencies on the FRS
My biggest fear is going backwards by upgrading to coil overs.!
