how come yours looks much lower than all the other DF's installed?...

Im going to be getting these withint he next week. A friend of mine said that lowering your vehical could be bad for it? is there anything that it could hurt? i know the feel of the ride might change but as far as bending hardware of the car.. ect.. ?..

10-05-2007, 09:00 PM

Well I have had DFs on my car for a few days now, and it is nowhere as low as that. I am curious why your car is so low.

Ok Im not understanding how this things is squatting like this. I got mine installed at the dealer and it sits low but not this low. Im running the TRD 19's on it now and it doesnt sit like that. Are these different springs then the dealer installed springs?

D_Unit
11-15-2007, 08:06 PM
Can someone with DFs please answer if you scrape on driveways or have to angle in to prevent scraping?

You are making the 16s look GOOD! I don't see why a 17" rim with a really wide lip wouldn't look just as sick....

Where can I get a set of these springs

I had TRD's when I first bought my XB2 and swapped to the DF's now it looks right!

They are about $160-$170 look here for someone close by:

Do you guys have any rattling problems? I forgot where I read it, but some guy was complaining about rattling after he installed some DFs.

no rattles with mine after 2K miles, of course you have stiffened up the suspension so a rattle that may not have been there before may suddenly appear!

I know I am crazy but I am trying to figure out if I will be able to make it into my driveway.

Can someone with 19” Wheels and 235/35 tires and dropped on DFs measure the distance to the ground from the front lip and just behind the lip at lowest part of the black plastic undercarriage cover.

Thanks you guys are awesome. Trying to go as low as possible and still make it in without scraping.
