Who is to say that I write my insults with eloquence? I can ramble on and on and insult you, but you simply feed off that fact and are eager to fight with me. You have proven emphatically that you are incapable of understanding me at all.

I will refrain from further comments toward you as you eagerly await your own personal rebuttal, albeit nonsensical and worthy of your inane level.

But I do not need to prove myself to you, as I know that I am certainly more knowledgeable than you. Your grammar, punctuation, and spelling provides the necessary clairvoyance. But maybe I should mark this guise as a pasty euphemism that you can understand (and hopefully it is devoid of "eloquence" enough for you): "pot calling the kettle black". Your allegation of eloquence towards me is laughable, and I find it hilarious that I can define your persona through a renown cliche.

Marvelous. Simply marvelous. I can't wait for another rebuttal from you that emphatically furthers your idiocy to not just myself, but to the other readers on this forum.

But regrettably, I must respectfully decline. I grow weary of your warmongering.

Just because your professors shoved a bunch of books up your pompous azz does not mean you are better than anyone else. You make me LOL and i <3 how you reply with an essay of gibberish every time ( and im not calling it gibberish because of the "I know that I am certainly more knowledgeable than you" language that you use)

Ah to be naive and uninformed. Too bad your allegation is far from correct. I like to drag race, throw parties with friends, go to the club, show off my car/work on my car, play guitar, play video games (Guitar Hero, Zelda, Call of Duty, etc.), etc.

Your hasty slanders are the reason I don't always show how smart I am. You know nothing about me, so obviously I'm "boring". Ha. Tell that to my girlfriend. But I'd prefer if we keep it that way that you don't know anything about me.

But anyway, I don't want to engage others about my personal life so I'm going to drop it and return back to topic.

Oh and by the way, you're stock struts will probably blow out anyway. When I installed my DF210's(at 15,000 miles) two of the struts were blown.
Well since you have some experience in this department I'm definitely going to take that into consideration. I hazard the opportunity to perform a similar modification on my car with DF210s, but after hearing about shocks blowing out at such a low number like 15k, I really don't think I want to go down that winding road.

The only person I know of who has had long success with DF210s is CIONIDE. I forget where he wrote it, but supposedly he's at about 30k miles or so with DF210s on it for 95% of the duration.

So I'm not entirely sure whether I want to risk installing new springs on my box considering that a) it might cause further damage in the future, and b) I might risk voiding my warranty.

But major kudos to you, Neek, if that works out well. I'd love to have updates appear from you on this site in case you do experience issues with it in the future. I'm not an expert mechanic (my skills probably rank in the intermediate level), so I'd love to hear how this modification works out for you.
Just do it, DF210's are great. I've had them for 20,000 miles now, and can't complain at all. If you pay the extra cash to have the dealership do the install, your warranty should be fine.

You know that's a great idea. I never thought about bringing it to the dealer to take care of the install. I just don't want to have to pay an arm and a leg for an install price.

By the way, do you have any experience on how the D's would compare to the N's? I'm thinking of lowering my car but certainly want it to be as low and as comfortable as possible. I'm looking into 18s on my car as well. Do you get a good ride out of yours, and can you feel the road? What tire set up do you have?

I have 2 sets of wheels, one set of bone stock rims and tires, and a set of 19's that are in storage right now. The stock 16's have absolutely zero problems on the DF's. Handling is sees an extreme increase, but not a lack of comfort. In my honest opinion these cars should have come from the factory on this setup, as the stock springs can't even compare on any level. The overall ride doesn't feel any different thank stock, there's just much less body roll and the car is lower. I haven't had any experience with the NF's, but with how much I love the DF's I can't imagine the NF's would be any worse a spring. If you plan on going with 16" or 17" rims and don't want to worry about rubbing, then the DF's are the way to go. If you want to run 18's go with the NF's. Talk to your dealer and find out if the mod would void your warranty, they'll be happy to tell you. You can also ask up front how much it would cost for the install and they'll be happy to give you an estimate. Should only be about 2 hours, if that as the rears take literally 5 minutes to swap out. I did my install with buddy in 3 hours with nothing but hand tools.

I definitely want to get the dealership to do mine just because of warranty issues. Since I'm electing for 18s on my box, i should most likely go with the NFs as it won't drop as low and not create that rub (at least, I hope it won't).

Hopefully Coggin Toyota Scion won't charge me an arm and a leg. I have tomorrow off so maybe I'll drop by to see what's up.
