I'm on the Tanabe DFs now... here's some unsettled pics, as they just went on about 1 hour ago...

EASY install, took 1.25 hours with two people...

that's a tasty drop. Can't wait to drop mine...

makes it look a ton better! nice job!

how do they ride?

damn, that looks hella tite! I think I should start worrying now. I ordered mine the other day, but I also got the 5axis kit. I should worry now, shouldn't I?

Yep... it'll be REALLY low with the axis kit.

They ride perfect, no huge change in feel or my wife would surely let me know!

They have settled a little bit, as the gap is pretty much two fingers front and back

I currently have the TRD lowering springs on my xb2. I love the look especially with my 18s being about 1/2 inch smaller in diameter with tires than stock (essentially 1/4 inch lower...maybe) but think a larger drop would really look sharp. I saw an xb1 today that was seriously low and it was sweet looking.

Question is about camber kits. Is there a kit out for our vehicle specific or are there general purpose ones that work. Forgive the noob question but I have never lowered a car before. I know some folks believe a camber kit would be necessary for a 2+ inch drop.

Thanks for any help.

I'll look at my wheels, but the crazy camber I've seen due to lowering on other cars isn't visible on my current drop.

An Alignment is always a good idea after a week or so, and I'll get one done soon, but I haven't "Seen" anything super agressive in terms of change in camber or alignment with my ~2 inch drop

here's my xB2 w/ Tanabe DF210s

Sweet!

Nice! what size rims are those?

18x8 +45

That looks awesome dropped. Nice job! I was hoping to see one sitting on stock wheels before I did mine, cuz that's what I will be rolling on until next early next year (if santa's good to me). My springs will be here by Friday, and I will be installing them on Saturday.

\m/,

would like to see a side-by-side comparo between the TRDs and these, cuz i honestly can't see that much difference between the two based on these pics

I don't have a side by side, but did have the TRD's on my car and the Tanabe's are lower and it is noticable. Before it had a pretty good gap in the rear, now barely two fingers and these were just put on this morning so they have yet to settle. Still rides good though. Only got my rears on, my compressor pooped out so I'm putting those on this weekend.

That sits LOW with the 5-Axis... What wheels/size/offset are you running there. I'd like to see what I can pull off with the tanabe drop.

looks good.

:clap: I like it... But with 5 axis kit, 19s and a 35 offset. I think I'll keep my TRD's... I've already scaped the front lip a few times. :nails: Again, Ilike the drop!

I'm running a 19x8.5 with 45mm offset front and rear, no rubbing problems

My kit never came with the 5 axis emblems.. :eyebrow:

love the drop

AIC_GCS-EVxb2 nice car man
