Default Tanabe df210's + 5Axis kit= possible?

Ok so I got everything ready and set except the lowering part of these. I am running the 5Axis kit with 19's and I am trying to lower this thing. I know the NF210's will work without too much of a problem, but would I be able to get away with DF210's without wrecking the kit. Anyone running this setup?

You got your answer, so nobody else felt the need to jump in.

That being said, you'll just need to drive really carefully with the DF's, and not pull up to any curbs or parking space stops. If you're not good with slowing down for speed bumps and driveways, you might want to stick with NF210's.

That and having 19's, depending on your offset and tire size, you might have other issues unrelated to your 5axis kit. Like your tires rubbing...

It'll look great with the NF's and 5-Axis kit.
What are your tire & wheel specs, including wheel offset?

The dealer here has a xB with the 5axis kit, TRD springs and 20's. With NF's it will look great. From seeing the one at the dealer, I don't think I'd want to go any lower if I had a lip kit.

Why is this thread still up here? Anything is Possible. DF210 isn't even that low. My Hotchkis is lower.

FYI, DF210 is pretty low.

Are either of you running the 5-Axis kit as well?
MaxBoost925, I saw in another thread that you rub; I think the OP is looking for a set-up that he won't have to worry about.
Both of your xB's look great, but it doesn't mean that it will satisfy everybody's wants, needs and desires.

hahahaha. yeah i was just kidding.

I'm actually gonna go for the AIT Racing lip kit. It's lower and meaner. I want my car to have the same stance as the Ksport car.

I knew you were j/k, no problem.

Knowing you like being really LOW, and like the Ksport stance; how come you didn't go with their coilovers?

reliability. I commute a lot. I actually bought ksports for my previous car. They needed to be aligned every month or so. With regular macphereson struts, it's once every 6 months.

Hadn't thought about that, but I guess most people with coilovers are constantly adjusting and playing with them, so the repeated alignments are just part of the routine.

Hahaha I tried 3 alignments in 1 week since I was constantly playing with height.

But I went so low that I blew a transmission. After that I never went dumped again.

That's why it's springs only for the new car.
