Question TRD Springs on BRZ: Does Anyone have this setup? Review?

As title states, I'm looking for some reviews on these springs specifically installed on the BRZ. I've thread searched and only thing I could find were a couple of comments (pos and neg) about the setup on the BRZ specifically as the struts are different than the 86/FR-S.

Long story short: I have a friend who has access to cost on the springs and install and debating on the setup. would prefer to steer away from aftermarket options right now as the price is right on the TRD ones.

Looking for a decent drop and good balance but vehicle will be rarely tracked or autoX at this time; just spirited driving for now.

Thanks in advance,

Where did you hear that the BRZ struts/shocks are different? Same model year, forgetting special editions, I believe the shocks have been dyno'd and shown to be the same between BRZ/FRS/86?

Spring rates are absolutely different between the three variations though.
