Tanabe DF210- 2.2/2.0 Black bB (pics)

Here are some pics of my bB. I just installed the springs last night and i must say it was incredibly easy. The spring install on these cars is so easy its crazy. I did not even have to take off the rear wheels to swap out the springs. Anyone can swap the springs on this car. I did not use an air compressor either.

The springs the Tanabe DF210 2.2 in front and 2.0 in rear.
wheels are 18x7.5 w/ 215-35-18 tires.

I like the drop and i cant wait till the springs are broken in and settled.

ENJOY!!!!

Thanks guys.

Seriously there were absolutely no problems or anything when i installed the springs. A friend and myself tackled the job and we were laughin the entire time at how incredibly easy it was to lower the bB.

Thanks again

Hey i installed those same springs on my XB but i have'nt adjusted to the springs yet.
Have you noticed that is bounces a bit more. They handle great around a corner and on the mountain roads. :D

Thanks a bunch guys. Im not too sure what brand the wheels are as of now. I will try to find out. They are not expensive wheels by any means though.

It does not seam like i have to get an alignment. My wheel is still straight and will stay straight when im driving.

It is a bit more bouncy but thats only when i am driving slow. When i am driving above 30 it's fine. But below 30 on a bumpy road its noticeably "bouncier" then stock.

Thanks again, guys.
