Got an email back from them...No date when they will be available, just that they are interested in making them for the xD's...Told them I would be interested in prototyping them for their company and they told me to send pics of my car so I did...
So I guess we will wait and see...
Today, Randy (RANDODE) and I grinded my inner rear fenders down so I would not rub anymore...Grinded down to almost only 1/8 of an inch of inner lip left on each of the fenders...Put the 5mm spacers in and STILL rubbed with passengers but no rubbing with just me...Removed the 5mm spacers and ZERO rubbing so i'm gonna run spacerless until I can get new rubber and run a little stretch, then I will put the spacers back on...

I would get the DF210's now from microimageonline...They are $179 shipped...Who knows when these coilovers will be available for the xD's...Plus when they do come out, just turn around and sell your springs...People always are wanting to buy springs...

After riding on my TRD's and now the DF's, I love the way the DF's ride...I can't answer about Teins because I have never driven on them...I love the drop of the DF's plus the ride it gives me
What is the drop of the Tein S-Techs?

^^^Damn that's nice...That means the front would drop level with the back opposed to the DF's which lower the rear a little more than the front...Anyone have experience with the s-techs on here?

Yep...All that stuff needs to come out to get to it...Its pretty easy to take out though...Remove wiper blades, remove plastic shroud that covers wiper motor, remove plastic housing (several screws), and remove wiper motor (2-screws)...Sounds harder than it is but its not...

As long as you take your time and pay attention to what you are doing you won't have anything to worry about as far as keeping your wipers in sync. Just make sure that you keep all the screws you take out separate and make sure that you know where they are. You DEFINITELY do not want to lose those!

Maybe he meant keeping them in line where they originally started before taking them off? Before you take them off, put blue painters tape on the front windshield along the bottom edge of each wiper blade so you know where to line them up when you put them back on...
