Sweet!!!! 8) Very clean.
I got the OneTonGarage shim kit. It was super easy (30 min.) and looks cool.
Again, nice ride! 8)

Thanks for all the compliments... The install was pretty easy. The hardest part was getting the top nut back on the strut and lining the strut mounting bolts back up.. Luckily, my mother-in-law was visiting...... needed a extra set of hands... "you tighten up the nut while I push the assembly down" :)

werd, took two of my friends plus myself to get it down far enough. Total weight for all three of us was probably about 450lbs. Yes, we look like toothpicks :D

I too like the wheels a lot.

WOW, Hotbox05, you know your wheels , huh? Yes they are ssc. I picked them up front Sears the same week I bought the box. $600 for all four in 18". You really can't beat it...
As far as the ride, it appears to be a lot better. It is a litttle more stiff, but the ride isn't bumpy. Before the box seemed to take the bumps kinda hard. Now is is stiff, but less rough and bumpy. I like it...

one more thing for all those who just got the df210 springs and are about to install them. Remember, on the back... tighter coils toward the bottom. Apparently, this may be not the standard, but Tanabe confirmed this is the way to install them. They said you should have the writing (Japan df210) right side up with the spring installed. Just a tip. I had to confirm it thru Tanabe, cause I was about to put them in tighter coil up.
Also, make sure you use them black sleeve provide with the rear coils, because they will be virtually compressed at the tighter coils (with the car down)...

actually, the 17's were 490 for all four.... the 18's were 590 for all four.... with tax and mounting of my tires (not bought at sears) it was about 600...

Yeap, DF210's are the way to go.
Mine sagged a bit n the front, maybe 1/4" after a couple of months, but still look and drive fine.

BTW, those are 18X8 with 225-40-18 and I am using 12mm spacers in the back I made at work.
