There are 92' Soarers in Taiwan? Nice.

It must have cost an arm and a leg.

Are they Bilsteins, or special valved KYB?
TRD has a way of producing very little for street cars, yet they re-box lots of stuff for street cars.

I saw a set of TRD lowering springs, drops the car by about an inch with fairly nice springs rates (10.1kg/mm front, 5.8kg/mm rear)... I dunno if they're still available though but if they are they're mighty tempting.

Really? Fair enough. Eibach's are too expensive over here in Australia... the main distributor wants $960 to supply and fit. The installation price isn't too bad (around AUD$300) but the springs themselves are around $660...

Might as well just get Tein's...

That is INSANE. I guess its a matter of supply and demand, but its clearly not a product worth that kind of $$$.

True that bro, and with Tein SS being around $500 to $700 more I'd much rather go with that... so much more adjustability to fine tune.
