is anybody else experiencing the coating coming off the springs and rusting like a motherfcuker??? when i installed my cusco camber plates i noticed the coating completely gone and rusted all to hell on both sides. i didnt check the back but i can only assume they are doing the same thing.

Ordered my DF210's from www.calienteautomotive.com Sunday night at 12:30 am, and they were at my door Tuesday morning! Not only did they ship instantly, but they were only $157 total w/ shipping. Amazing prices w/great service. Can't wait to put them on tomorrow. Now my only thing left is to decide which shock to get. After reading page after page I think the boards are split between the sensatrac 5870's and the 5987's for drops up to 2".

Recently installed on our shop xB.

Wheels are 18x7.5. The overall ride is comfortable given that we still use the factory shocks.

Handling definitely has improved.

Thank you eXciteBox.
If you ever get a chance, test drive the tC.
The power and handling will amaze you.

We have guys at our place of business who drive EVO8, WRX, 350Z and S2000 at track and autox events, and they were totally impressed with the tC.

Default DF210s went on yesterday.

Smooth ride on smooth pavement. Little harsher on lane markers. Obviously, less travel.

Red powdercoat on springs. Cut the bump stops.

Like the look. Now if the wheels would just get here.

I have 18x7 and I've never had a problem with them. I stuffed the hell out of my box when I moved into my new apt. It never rub or anything. My car was slammed, too! 15000 miles and still perfect!

Installed Tanabe DF210s last Friday. Stock struts and shocks. Drop looks great. Ride is pretty good on smooth pavement. Lucky for me, our streets are in pretty good shape. Box handles well on the freeway.

Only bad thing is short strut travel. Bottomed out a couple of times this week.

Think I'm going to have to go to upgraded struts with stiffer valving on compression. I'm thinking about adjustable Tokicos.

how many miles will these springs last for? before they start getting soft...etc.... or another words, when would we need to replace the shocks or struts once the springs give enough wear?

I will ask the same question....does anyone have these springs with the TRD struts and shocks? Also...how bad is the bounce in the rear compared to stock?
