Thoughts? I am running TRD's and want to go lower. I've had Tein's on my xA and loved them, but read somewhere that they were soft on the xD. So, if you have springs that go lower than the TRD's, let me know what you think of them, thanks.
Rob, I went from the TRD's to the Tanabe DF210's and couldn't be happier...I love the way they ride! The ONLY complaint I have is that the rear sits lower than the front...But the ride is AWESOME...
So the Tenabe's sit lower in the back than the front, but the Progress sits level?
Not a big fan of the bow high look. Why would a company do that? High performance stuff should rake down to the front, not the rear.
How do the Progress springs ride Troy and are you running the stock shocks too?

They might be considered just a little soft with the stock struts, but it's hard to tell, I sit low enough in the front that I bottom out pretty easily - probably only an inch or so of travel left on the stock struts, even with cutting the bumpers down by almost half on them... I've never ridden with any other springs, so I don't really have anything to compare the ride with.

It was so much easier when I had my first gen B. I could ask around at meets and find out who had what and usually get a chance to drive or at least get a ride to see how it worked/felt.
I ended up going with a set up from H&R that included matched dampers/shocks. Not quite 2 inches lower all around and rode so much better than stock people would be amazed.
Not so much opportunities with the xD. Even in a big city like Dallas.

got tein basics also, front still can go lower but i can't clear a few of my daily spots so it will have to stay at that height. ride is ok, i would like it a little more stiffer. lol. but for only height adjustments it's good enough for now.
tanabe's sit lower in teh back cuz they are meant for the Yaris. that equals soft spring rates cuz the yaris is shorter and lighter. duslike saggy butts
Yeah, the Teins are made for the Yaris also. The drop is the same on the 4 door sedan as the xD. I think the xA springs were the same as the Echo, but they were closer in weight, I think.
I liked my Teins, but I read where someone was selling theirs because they were too soft. I don't rally mine, but enjoy a spirited curvy ride once in a while and want something that is going to handle, not bounce around.
