matt311 10-19-2007, 03:33 PM well here it is.. I did it on my own.. it was tough in a few spots to do because it was my first time to do it.. but if i had to do it again it would take me no time.
Before:

look ok?....
It dosnt look like much in the pics.. but this is a perfect drop... its low.. but not too low to where its going to screw things up.. its a perfect low drop for an every day driver! i like it a lot!
uberspeed 10-19-2007, 04:28 PM Dude! The drop made your wheel covers change color!
;)
Looks good. :)
matt311 10-19-2007, 04:30 PM lol yeah.. and it gave me an extra 15 hp!!! its amazing!
im undecided if i like the black wheel covers....
just something different untill I get my rims.
xseveredveganx 10-20-2007, 12:21 AM I ,for one, think the painted hubcaps look good.
I might just have to do mine!!
andrewdustin 10-20-2007, 10:11 AM yeah, the covers look great! so does the drop! way to go!
SLO-BOX 10-22-2007, 06:04 PM SICK!!! I dig the hubcraps painted black! I just took mine off and spray painted my wheel weights, valve stems, and center hubs black to match the black lugnuts. I figure I will wear out my tires pretty quick since I have driven 5000 miles since 09/08/07. Then I can get some rims and bigger meats...
Whispaz 10-22-2007, 06:57 PM very nice
midgethearsexb 10-23-2007, 02:46 AM There's nothing like a BSP xB2 with DF's! You'll notice that it handles 10X better than before too! I'm so glad I went with the DF's instead of the TRD's! Looks good man! It'll settle a little bit more too. Here's a pic of mine...

TunerChick 10-24-2007, 04:02 PM Quick question...are you guy using the stock struts when you install the springs?
matt311 10-24-2007, 10:14 PM yep.. I did...
xseveredveganx 10-24-2007, 11:27 PM Yep. When midgethearsexb and I did his we re-used his struts. From my knowledge no one makes aftermarket struts for these.
TunerChick 10-24-2007, 11:38 PM Thanks guys...wasn't totally sure!
nice drop. looks like I'm going to get a set of df's for mine
midgethearsexb 10-30-2007, 12:06 AM nice drop. looks like I'm going to get a set of df's for mine
It looks so much better with the DF's on stockies! I know when I get my rims come Spring it will look 10X better, but for now it don't look bad.
Pacman 11-05-2007, 05:51 PM Car looks so Tough!!! Love the black wheels!

Whispaz 11-05-2007, 09:47 PM i hate DF threads. i always decide to go w/ TRDs because its best for winter driving but pics of DFs make me reconsider.....
looks real good though
matt311 11-05-2007, 09:49 PM its nice living in Texas... there is no difference between winter driving and summer driving.. lol

I live in Utah and have DF's... I had them on my first gen as well. I never had a problem. What's another 1/2"? If you're gonna be a snow plow, you might as well do it right!
Nzaw4 11-05-2007, 11:00 PM Damn, looking really clean matt311! Im super jealous i didnt get black! So how are they riding for you matt? i just installed the df210's on mine last saturday, thinking about doing the alignment this weekend after a week, maybe sooner. But i defenitely feel the difference in the center of gravity, kinda bounces more when i drive over the crappy LA roads. :eyebrow:

I like the way the df's look. my drive way is to steap at my shop and with df's installed it will hit. so I bought the TRD's
