Hey guys I got my Tanabe DF210 Springs in yesterday morning and installed them last night took me 3.5 hours to install, it was me and a friend.

Quick Review of the install Front was really easy, but the back was a pain in the a** if you dont have an impact gun, the bottom bolt on the shocks are very high torque and take forever to take off.

Tools needed:
Spring Compressors (2)
14mm Socket 5/8 I think
17mm Socket 11/16
19mm Socket 3/4
You also need a bigger socket for the bolts holding the strut in place in front, i cant remember for sure what size, but i think its a 21, or 23 somewhere there







The drop is real clean, i know it has to settle and that takes about 2-3 weeks, its a 1.7 Front Drop and 2.2 Rear Drop, thank you Jan_Michel_07 for bearing with me during payment process, and thank you to Idontact for helping me install, you helped me save $200.

What do you guys think??

Looks pretty damn good. I thought it'd be uneven with the rear being 2.2 but it's real clean. So tell us how the ride is

What made you choose the DF's over the NF's? I have been throing the idea back and forth of which springs to get.. What key feature made you choose the Df's ?

Looks good BTW. very level drop

I have the NF210's on my car and like them alot.

Main difference is that there is a larger drop with the DF and the other difference is that the spring rate is considerably more than stock.

The NF is a ligth drop with a spring rate very close to stock.

I drive alot and just wanted it a bit lower without dealing with a bouncy stiff ride.

If you want to see pics of mine I posted them just do a search.

Ride is not to bad, nothing i cant deal with, reason i chose the DF is because i found them at a good price, purely about price, nothing else, reason its even is because the front springs lower it 1.7 but you have the engine in the front which brings it down a little more, and i still have to wait on settling

yea i got the df210 also in my tc and i love them. ride great

rrimportracer

its funny how you can never find out who has the product you want until you get it and install it, then all the people come out of hiding and say they have it too, lol i was looking around to find who else had these and couldnt find them

Daskid

^^^ True...

rrimportracer

haha, i hstill have to find someone with the tanabe medallion touring exhaust i have it, but seems like im the only one, its unbeleivably quiet, leaves room for extra noise with header, and mid pipe, i can hear the intake more than the exhaust

rrimportracer

UPDATE: There has been some sagging but nothing to bad, lol i like how it looks.







I know my car is dirty but we have had some really cold moist weather out here for a change and every morning there is dew on my car so it gets dirty really fast

nice drop!

rrimportracer

thanks

How does that Tanabe exhaust sound?

It looks similar to the TRD but I wonder if the
sound is different, Louder? Deeper?

RedLine_tC

looking good :D

rrimportracer

tanabe exhaust is good, all i have on the exhaust right now is the exhaust and s pipe, i have 2 clips on youtube if you wanna check it out, its real quiet, leaves room for header, and mid pipe, it wont sound raspy with that stuff on, i mean if you look at how huge the muffler is, that thing is almost as big as the stock muffler
