Default Tanabe DF210's

I am planning on buying these as my next mod and was just wondering how they affect ride quality if anyone can help me out.

thanks,
Austin

I am also looking to do either Tanabe DF210s or NF210s on my xD, deciding if I want the extra 1/2" drop of the DFs, and how the ride will differ with either... The NFs are a little lower than the TRD springs... I've seen some xD postings on this, but not enough to make my decision yet. I have 18x7.5 aftermarket wheels and 225/40/18 tires, wondering if the DF's might cause any rubbing, could be a close call...

also something that has been previously posted... use the search...

You need to know what your offset is before you'll know if they will rub...

NFs are lower than the TRDs by far, don't waste your money on the TRDs.

As long as you don't get 18" and super wide 17" wheels+tires, you should have no issues with rubbing on DFs.

Depending on your road quality of where you live, you might not like the DFs since they will be stiffer than the NFs. I'm on NFs and I love them

or go with the 18's but just make sure to get the right tire set up and offsets to make it clear with no rubbing.

if you're interested in either of these (NF's or DF's ) you can get them at

http://www.microimageonline.com/index.html

in the Suspension section (they are the same part numbers for the XD and Yaris if I'm not mistaken) the ones listed for Yaris

DF's are 158 free shipping
NF's are 168 free shipping

I just thought this was a good deal and worth noting.

That is weird that the NFs are $10 more than the DFs. Less material for the lower drop I guess

stiffer spring weight = more density. so thats probably the reason for the difference in price

theres 6 inch ground clearance (probably 6.5" up front) on a non-RS (no lip) xD. IMO, there shuold be enough clearance.
