Looks nice dude! Good job! So, even though they aint settled yet, how do they ride? Feel good?

Now that's a sweet drop. Those are 2.2 inches in the front and 2 inches in the back correct??????

The ride is Phenomenom... Best ride ever, for those who say the df210's are really bouncy n stiff, thats due to road conditions, define me your definition of smooth and bouncy ride... Tanabe Df210's are made with a special amount of spring rate ratios which are:
Spring Drops: Front: 2.2 Inch Rear: 2.1 Inch
Spring Rates: Front: 2.8 kg/mm Rear: 3.0 kg/mm

With the springs on my car right now, the ride is not bouncy, its a really smooth ride, it Hugs and hugs the road perfect. right now im just holding off on my Shocks due to the factory shocks are still new and good for another 16 months.

Tokico Blues/Whites are a good recomendation along with Cusco under frame brace along with a Tower brace any brand will due. ur own preferance. As for alignment its perfect no alignment required for Tanabe DF210 had them checkd out already. Camber position is perfect no kit required unless under heavy loads on a regular basis. PM or IM me for any questions on my suspensions.

-Mark :D
P.S. Good Luck with ur suspensions

my estimation my car will be be off the ground about 3.6-4" ride height. car drop estimate front and rear 2.5" drop all around.

Mmmmmm........... The lower, the better imo. Looks nice

did it come with bump stops at all? How long did it take for you to install them?

How much did you pay for them and where did you buy them from :?: :?:

yeah it came with 2 bump stops but thats extra incase your original bump stops are bad then u put the new bump stops on. i got them online for 160. email me or pm me if ur interested i'll talk to the guy and see if he has more. took like 30 mins for my mechanic to install it

will they ship or you ship

most likely i can get him to ship it, if not i'll ship it for u jus write me a check or someting ya kno? lolz :D

Go here, Options Auto. I have had mine for about 2k miles. I have no complaints. They come with replacement bump stops. Randode Racing http://www.randode.com/ installed mine in about 30 minutes.
http://www.optauto.com/webstore/product_list.asp?dept=3677&last=3677 I just checked and they are in stock at $156.00. They ship fast too.
Heres mine http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287936257&jdx=10[/img]

Is the car level or does it have a nice little rake to the front?

it has a nice rake in the front. if you see it in person, you can tell there is a subtle dip. it looks real good in person

Thanks showpaojoe, that's all I needed to make my decision :wink: .

And Munch, I would first check with swtbabiboi4u because he is a real cool dude and hisfriend can get you a better deal shipped if he has more in stock. I always talk to this fool (swtbabiboi4u) on the side and he hooked me up with a nice set of tanabe's too

Doc

If you would like a set delivered I can hook them up for $170 shipped to your door. If you want to pick up a set I will do them for $155 If interested just let me know through PM

Looks cool dude, how much did it cost you for the springs?

i paid 160 for mine

I want those now...I have the DL210 but I want those now..>they look nice

lol.. howcome you got the DL210's?
:shock:

whats rake

In simple speak, it is an angle or lean... think motorcycle front forks on a chopper... you know how some are more angled and extend forward? If this( | )is a normal fork, then this( / )is a raked fork.... make sense?



Doc

makes sense but you mean like is the front lower then the back?

Werd... and for future reference, American Chopper can be found on the Discovery Channel, consult your TV Guide for local times!!!



Doc

i like the helicopter design that they used for a bike that was tight
i would call it a helichopper

LOL...did you see the new one, the POW/MIA bike? That thing is sick!!!



Doc

nah uh i only saw that one i dont even know when it comes on

The POW/MIA was pretty good, the only reason it was so cool tho was because of the detail but the actual design wasn't as creative as some of their other ones

Well Sr. designed it, that was why the design wasn't what you are used to, most of the other designs are Jr's



Doc

hat day and time does it come on

hat day and time does it come on

Here usually it is Tueday nights for the new episodes, and then again on Friday night...

Doc

yes just before the 2nd page they tend to get off topic but they get back on every now and then

haha yeah i agreee...FAK i fakn kurved mah driver side lip =( fakn dam black curves.. drivers be aware! =( i post piks later tonite or in a few hours sigh :x welp time for a new front end :lol:

whats DL210??? only heard of NF and DF210

its another line of the Tanabe springs, doenst drop as low dF210's and i believe the dl's ride is more of a rough ride im not sure didnt look into it =) just looked into the Df210z

Nice drop! Have you decided whether you are going to go 17s and 18s?

cubi, were you abkle to see the pics?

I tried, but they're coming up as red x's :(

u guys talking about the pics of DF210 drop?
i can see the pics no problem

yeah i got future plans for the rims and kit and engine mods, just right now i havnt got enough funds yet. im going to go with 19's if there arent any that i like then i will have to drop down to 18's but as for now, im set on 19's :D i would go dubs but way to much bank and dont really like the dub size styles doesnt go with the flow im doing :?

thanks again, chris! this guy hooked it up. i just picked up these springs from him tonight and he's the coolest cat... cant wait to install them tomorrow!

good luck have fun enjoy them! they are fantastic

thanks.. so far so good. not quite as low as i want yet... but i'll give it some time. and tomorrow morning i'll be picking up some tires for the rotas (the ones NO ONE wanted to buy from me! :P ) and slapping those on.

you got any pics of the rota's ? what style ? what brand n type tires r u going with? :D

they are the 15" rota grid in gunmetal w/silver lip. i havent taken any pics yet cuz i ended up not being able to put them on until it was already dark outside. but i'll post pics as soon as i can. and the tires are 205/50 michelin pilots. my buddies and i were supposed to drag this afternoon and i heard pilots are pretty sticky so thats what i got..

here u go... some pics taken this morning: (the last 6 pics of the album)

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4288899983

the grids look good mrlaypo! i was pretty close on slipstreams myself. you need to smoke the red rear running lights! i have polar white so i need to clear them. unfortunately smokeout is easy right now and clearing is yet availible.

thanks! ive had those for MONTHS and had yet to do anything with them. my friend offered to trade his slipstreams for my grids but i thought these matched my xb a little better. and i originally had all my lights tinted EXCEPT the rear running lights (and the headlights of course)... but i decided to take everything else off. and i really dont mind the red light toooo much. it does bring out my injen sticker! :lol:

bah! nahhh u should be able to take down a honda element. i take them down all da time =) post pics of the rotas asap gotta peep em out =)

(last 6 pics of the album)

cool cool Thanks! =) How do u like ur springs so far?

theyre ok. im impatiently waiting for them to settle a little more. :P i want that fender gap to POOF and disappear. of course, i guess putting on 15s doesnt really help. but o well. at first i was hesitant to buy these springs cuz a few people on here were complaining that the ride was too bouncy. my rides been ok though. its not any bouncier than the road itself is making it at least.

naw its not bouncy.. what you are feeling is the car hugging the road. just wait for the springs to set in and it will be a great ride =) did u get shocks?

no i havent replaced my shocks yet. theyre still ok. ive left my car alone this whole week cuz im in vegas and not returning til tonight so hopefully theyve settled a liiiiiiittle bit. not as much as if id been driving it but hey, whatever.

if you want ur springs to settle in quick and good. jus drive it a lot and try to do lots of turns =)

your stock shocks should be good for another 16 months or so... my car is 6 months old and my shocks are good for another 16 months as well :D
