and now seeing how you said the car rides, i would really think you have TRDs. i thought mine was stiff and a lil rough while on those springs. IMO the ride with the Teins is a lil softer and less stiff.

yea either trds or cut springs based on ride quality. trds ride pretty rough, and cut springs seem pretty common place in the scion world (unfortunately). does seem a little lower than trds though. maybe the tanabe nfs? id kinda bet on cut springs though. unless his trds sit lower for some reason

this was my car on trds:

It also depends on angle/view of shot and tire differences between both cars. but even so his does seem lower. but then factor in all car are different. hmm now you got me thinking. we def need pics of rear springs.
maybe it is some cheap dropzone coils they are red also. Those can drop low and are really cheap and ride rough as hell. Had them on my 1st gen xB

true that but those 16s were running the factory 195/6?/16 turanzas that come on the car. so unless his tires are bigger which they dont seem like it, its either a diff spring or cut. thats almost DF210 low with the lower back end than front (diff rake than what the teins give). dont know anything about drop zone, and cant really think of anything else from the spring options for the xD
