Question DF210 or Sportlines? 2011 (pics)

I have a 2011 xB. Want to lower it, i cant decide whether i want DF210 or Sportlines, my cousin has sport lines, its low... and ride good. but maybe too low for me?

I want a stiff but comfortable ride, just want to loose the big wheel well gap nothing more.

I had H&R Sports on my 92 civic and they were perfect.

I've read a bunch of threads but would like new opinions.

Default Sportlines

im trying to get rid of the wheel gap in our 11 as well, if you are the only person riding in the car go for df's but if you have a family car like us go for the sportlines so you won't rub.
I am trying to talk my parents into getting some lowering springs or at least letting me put some on...

I'm rocking Eibach Sportlines with 235/40/18 and the drop is incredibly low. If you're okay riding low, definitely go for those ones.

This is my first lowered car and I love how low it is, but the ride is punishing over bumps.

So basically I'm going to upgrade to NF210's that way I don't feel the road insofar as jolting and jostling over bumps as well as rubbing on every dip.

Be sure you want to be that low if you're going to ride on those springs.

BTW, if you want a deal on Eibach Sportlines, I'm going to be selling mine soon whenever I get around to either buying a used or a new set of NF210 springs.

PM me if interested!

Couldn't find the username on ScionLife.

I can't find anyone who is selling the NF210's for cheap. I might just have to buy them new.

And that sucks, too, because I want to get my TRD Sway bar also. It'd be best to install them both at the same time. Grrr....

any good vinyl guy can make a decal like that, and I agree it does look sick as hell.

And that site for NFs is def the lowest Ive seen brand new as well, ebay they're still over 200 bucks.

I hear good things about DFs, but for ride comfort NFs are the way to go, its a tasteful drop with near stock comfort, but it wont eliminate 100% of wheel gap unless you run 18s or 19s maybe.

I'm pretty sure you know this, but I'm just going to send out a friendly reminder.

After installing these springs, please ensure that you get an alignment done.
