Alright, I just bought Tanabe DF210's for my xA and they should be here on Friday. I wanna install this weekend so I need some help. I've looked around here and everything has been about a spring install on the xB, how different is it? Also what about a spring compressor? I've talked to some people and they say its a must and others have said I can get around using it.

Any ideas/pictures/comments??

Im right there with you buddy, I used the spring install how to for the XB on my XA. I did the rear tonight in about a half an hour. The how to for the XB rear is exactly the same as the XA. Im working on the front tomorrow. I do not think I am going to use a spring compressor but I plan on asking some people and if I do need one, many places rent them out for pretty cheap. Ill let you know how the fronts turn out tomorrow

a spring compressor you need not.it is pretty much like the B.all you really need is some metric sockets.

Spring compressors are for wimps. Just jump on that Tom! Jesse knows what's up.

I just finished up the front springs. It took my buddy and I a little over an hour to do them. The only problem I ran into was that we pulled the passenger side axle out of the transmission. Ill have to have that repacked. Other than that, the install was simple. Follow the guide and you will have no problems. The car is at the alignment shop now and will be on the road tomorrow. Ill post pics as soon as I can.
