naaa, the spys are about 2" all around - and they aren't known as springs that sag

I've had the Tanabe DF210's on my car for over a year now, and if i'm parked next to one of the guys with spy's, my car is noticably lower in the front :)

Besides, that raked nose down look doesn't match the box
very well. IMHO.

you know all the springs with an even drop are raked *backwards* right?

one of the main reasons i went with the tanabe's, i hate that backwards lowrider rake - i think that looks totally out of place on an import... but that's just me :)

I run Goldlines on mine.
So the tanabe df210's are 2.5 front/2.0 rear? That would give you a rake. I like mine to be level. IMO

I just put Eibach Sportline's on and the ride is incredible! I had Hotchkis springs before. The Eibach's were worth every penny in my opinion.

:P just the fact that the tanabe are lower, i used to think that also, but that isnt true.....they are the same, up to like 2cm if u want to measure that..........the tanabes are lower with a load in the rear i think...............but i just u knew needed to throw that out there.............hope ur not confused anymore..............lol

so theyre the same as goldlines you think? thats what you're saying?

ive never seen one with goldlines. ill have to see one and compare a little bit to verify you :P all i know, is im low enough as it is and its gonna settle more im told. going over speed bumps straight over will no longer be an option :rofl:

Actually, the Spy springs I had were just a tad lower than a 2 inch drop. They didn't sag at all while I had them on my xB, but I just didn't like the back end being lower than the front end.

Some say the 1st generation Spy springs were a 2.5 inch drop, but I know a few that still have the 1st gen Spy's and its definitely NOT a 2.5 inch drop.
