I didn't like the 3GS until I saw them modded. Hopefully, the same will happen with the 4. Looks like we're off to a good start.

The moment I laid eyes on the 4g in the Superbowl ad I said out loud " I have to have it"

Are there two different sets at the site? I can't tell. Is one lower than the other?

Thanks for finding Stormforge!

There "seems" to be 2 different sets (Ti2000 and RS-R), but both sets have the same spring rate and the same lowering height. The only difference that i can find is that the Ti2000 was designed for comfort (similar to Tanabe's NF210 for that stock ride). Not sure if that is the same for the RS-R set. The only way to confirm which spring set to get is to talk to a RS-R sales rep on the differences between the two.

But here's the description for the 2 sets, not sure if it helps or confuses you even more! lol!

Ti2000 spring description:
1. The Ideal Drop for you: At TMC we have used our years of experience and know-how to develop the Ti2000 suspension kit to offer the driver the lowest allowable ride height for street driving.

2. Superior Quality: The Titanium alloy we use in manufacturing is ideal for suspension kits and is extremely durable. The material is of the highest quality (and comes with an unlimited guarantee.)

3. Uncompromised Riding Comfort: The Ti2000 gives the driver the maximum drop in ride height without compromising riding comfort. The driver will notice the difference.

RS-R spring description:
1. Compression Level: Thanks to the knowledge we have gained through many years of developing coil technology we have been able to achieve maximum compression in our springs to get your car as low as possible. We have been able to achieve a low ride height and get that stylish look without sacrificing handling or ride comfort. When you drive with this suspension you will feel its quality.

2. Durability Guarantee: At the forefront of technology RS-R suspension uses new and improved materials to give maximum durability. All RS-R Suspension comes with a 3 year/50000km guarantee.

3. Price: Thanks to RS-R's position as No1 seller of aftermarket suspension kits we are able to offer a wide range of products at the lowest possible price.

contact your local speed or tuning shop in your area for availability. alternatively, find a jdm importer to directly import these springs for you.

Just came back from Japan, both TRD and RS-R did not have the springs readily available for purchase. I also found out that the TRD springs will come with the fogs lights as a kit. I did purchase the TRD add on side skirts and front spoiler kit.
