i had the black one and they were saggy especially in the rear but that just my input. correct me if I'm wrong The black ones were the first versions that came out and the red were the updated ones.

damn, i just scored a set of black ones off ebay for 105$ shipped from an over stock dealer. By saggy, do you mean softer or lower to the ground?

the red ones are lower in the rear, dealer told me the black ones made the gen2 even, meaning the same drop all around. the 2,5 was a tad higher in the rear, and the red trd springs compensated for the added 0.1-0.2 "
overall they both fit, I have the red ones without any problems. it looks a bit tucked with the 17s
