View Full Version : Tein S Tech or Tanabe DF210? westsype 03-19-2004, 09:40 PM I am considering getting one of those springs but eventually upgrading to coilovers but for now these will do. What do you think i should get for 17x8 rims probably 215/45 or 215/40 tires still deciding. Well let me know and why u picked them. Thanks :P Going on TCM XB Munch 03-19-2004, 10:09 PM I vote Tanabe DF210 because I have them :D PandaIst 03-19-2004, 10:16 PM I say go with the Tanabe DF210 springs. I like them a lot on my xA. Nice drop, top notch quality from a good brand. Tein is too a very good company, can't go wrong either way. Btw, do you drive an xB or xA? bBted 03-19-2004, 10:19 PM DF210 is the way to go!!!!!

Low, but not slammed. I would use this as your gauge. They are both good springs with similar spring rates. If you go with the 215/45/17 tires, you may be better off with the Teins because of the larger tire. I have that tire with the Teins and there is a very small rub on the inside of the front fender well while making slow, tight turns. This could be corrected with either spring set, but there should be less to worry about with the Teins. scionxb04 03-20-2004, 05:47 AM my teins dont rub on my 18's...and the spring rate is soft enough for the stock shocks....just make sure to cut the rubber stops according to the directions so as to not lose as much travel in your suspension...the ride is very nice....i drive it up and down highway 5 and the handling is great the tanabe springs have a higher spring rate making them a harsher riding spring....so if your going for ride quality get tein its_ikon 03-21-2004, 02:19 PM since you are going with a 17" rim, go with the teins. although they will both do the job great. hongs66 03-22-2004, 02:56 PM I have the DF 210's and love them. I'm also running 17x7 Exel's with 215/45 tires. No rub at all. Rides better than stock. aznr1c3bo1 03-26-2004, 03:55 AM where did everyone get their springs from and how much? hahajoey 03-26-2004, 04:05 AM someone is selling their df210 used for 100 bucks! im on df210 and i love them. tein's are a good choice as well! df210 is a lil more of a drop westsype 03-26-2004, 04:07 AM I decided to go with Tein S Tech thanks all. hahajoey 03-26-2004, 04:08 AM optionauto.com has them for 178 shipped(df210) autobacs i think has the s tech for like less than 200 westsype 03-26-2004, 04:50 AM i bought them from adventon.com 170 shipped. scionxb04 03-26-2004, 04:57 AM I decided to go with Tein S Tech thanks all. good choice :) |
