Default Tanabe DF installed! Sick!

I've been waiting to get these and finally got them installed on Saturday at autobacs, and now I'm finding myself driving aimlessly and wasting gas all the time :D

These springs are awesome, and there is 0 gap. Not too low, not too high, just right, perfectly even drop.

I already had the Tanabe TB installed, which helped the handling, but with these installed, the handling is great! There is still some body roll. but it definitely feels a lot tighter than before.

No pics yet, but it pretty much looks exactly like the one they have on their website. +1! http://www.tanabe-usa.com/images/photos/TDF106-Car1.jpg

Anyone running these with a wheel/tire combo? Post the sizes & offset, I definitely need to get some wheels next

____, that rear wheel looks kinda tucked.

IMHO, get a camber kit and a strut set wif you get these springs.

Are the Tanabe DF210 lower than the Tein S. Tech Springs?

That is a good height. I wonder if I'll scrape badly with the OEM kit and the Tanabe DF's.

the Tanabe DF210 is a different drop than the Tein S. Tech.

Tanabe DF210 has a 1.7 / 2.2 drop (Front / Rear)
Tein S Tech has a 2.4 / 2.0 drop (Front / Rear)

And I have the OEM kit, and the Tanabe DF's and you have to be careful in steep driveways, but it's not bad. I've only scraped once in the driveway at work when I didn't angle it enough.

Yeah, the teins have that domestic musclecar look with an aggressive front drop...bleh... not for everyone!

After a lil over a week of use, these are good :D I have scraped a couple times, but it was just a matter of me being careless.

azuresky, your car, my car...same color, same mods... ;) ;)

haha j/p
