Installed them today. really nice drop. Thanks for the help drizzle, hotbox05, and biohazardous customs.......


Before:

 

Looks good.. really clean.. nice job.

 

Thanks.... The TECH section is a HUGE HELP......

 

nice drop...looks like mine. Good choice in springs. I love my DF210s!

 

I think the next purchase will be a onetongarage shim kit...

 

Sweet

 

Love the wheels!

Nice drop too...

-THE DON

 

nice, what wheels are those?

 

sweeeeeet

 

Sweet!!!! Very clean.

I got the OneTonGarage shim kit. It was super easy (30 min.) and looks cool.

Again, nice ride!

 

Thanks for all the compliments... The install was pretty easy. The hardest part was getting the top nut back on the strut and lining the strut mounting bolts back up.. Luckily, my mother-in-law was visiting...... needed a extra set of hands... "you tighten up the nut while I push the assembly down"

 

werd, took two of my friends plus myself to get it down far enough. Total weight for all three of us was probably about 450lbs. Yes, we look like toothpicks :D

 

Very nice!

I too like the wheels a lot.

So give us your impression of the ride difference from stock. :?:

 

Glad to read that you all like them so much. Just got my set in the mail today, will be installing next weekend. Beautiful looking ride you have there man!

 

the one ton garage shims rock i have the 10mil one. they rock! pushes those rear wheels out nicely.those wheels look like ssc. i almost got that same set on my supra but went with riax instead.

 

WOW, Hotbox05, you know your wheels , huh? Yes they are ssc. I picked them up front Sears the same week I bought the box. $600 for all four in 18". You really can't beat it...

As far as the ride, it appears to be a lot better. It is a litttle more stiff, but the ride isn't bumpy. Before the box seemed to take the bumps kinda hard. Now is is stiff, but less rough and bumpy. I like it...

 

How long did the install take you? I'll be droppin my box 2" this weekend :-)

 

one more thing for all those who just got the df210 springs and are about to install them. Remember, on the back... tighter coils toward the bottom. Apparently, this may be not the standard, but Tanabe confirmed this is the way to install them. They said you should have the writing (Japan df210) right side up with the spring installed. Just a tip. I had to confirm it thru Tanabe, cause I was about to put them in tighter coil up.

Also, make sure you use them black sleeve provide with the rear coils, because they will be virtually compressed at the tighter coils (with the car down)...

 

yeah i used to work at sears and for 17's those ssc's wouldda been like 450 or 490 u got ripped bro sorry. they look awesome tho. or did that include tires? they look nice i loved em i tore myself apart but i liked the ones i got too . they both rock and are both that cool lookin 10 spoke design.

 

actually, the 17's were 490 for all four.... the 18's were 590 for all four.... with tax and mounting of my tires (not bought at sears) it was about 600...
