I think the Tanabe NF210 is for you since you plan to load your car and also have a subwoofer box.  Tanabe is a Good Brand

From what i hear Tanabe is the bounciest of the 4. Best ones are Eibach and H&R. Then Tein comes in a close 3rd. Im using Tein.

[.: ®Saint :.]

I am using Tanabe DF210 for more than 2yrs and for me, its total ride satisfaction.

I use Tein because it was the only one available when i was looking for lowering springs and i wanted to drop asap hehe..

[Kaotic]

I got the Tein S.Tech's because they offered the lowest and the stiffest rear spring rates at the time. They're not too bouncy either (also on TRD shocks).

Sirs,

Pardon my ignorance, what do you mean by offsets and spacers?

Sirs,

Pardon my ignorance, what do you mean by offsets and spacers?

offset is one important factor to consider when purchasing a set of wheels. This crucial measurement can mean the difference between a tire that sticks out of the wheel well, one that hits the coil spring and one that fits just right.

Offset Explained
When viewed from the front, offset is the distance between the hub mounting surface and the center-line of the rim. Positive offset means the hub surface is further out than the rim center, and negative is behind it.

Purpose
Offset effectively determines where the wheel is in the wheel well. A more forward hub (positive offset) tucks the wheel further in, and a negative offset moves it farther out.

Suspension Clearance
Owners of cars with struts suspensions must be very cautious when determining offset, because excessive positive offset might cause the tires to hit the struts' lower spring perch.

Brake Clearance
Some car owners who use large brake packages prefer buying a "deep-dish" wheel with lots of negative offset. Moving the wheel hub past the back of the rim may give enough clearance for larger brakes to fit without increasing wheel diameter.

Spacers
When choosing a new wheel, many consider it better to err on the side of safety by purchasing a rim with a little bit of extra positive offset. One can use high-quality spacers to move the wheel outward if desired, but it's impossible to move the wheel inward if it has too much negative offset.
