Default Tanabes df210's ! I got a few ?'s about them...

Ok, I am curious. As of right now. I have 15 inch alloy rims. I may or may not decide to up them to 17's but if i do, it will not be until around feb.
SO my questions :
Is it ok to just go with the tanabes springs WITHOUT the shocks on the 15's until i get the 17s?

Also, how much of a drop will i get?
And will it affect the way my car rides? WIll it be more bumpy or what?
Plus... will it even look ok.. lowered a little with 15 inch rims. (i cant afford 17's until I get my tax money back) lol

Its either the springs and pedals covers or a cold air intake or the interior led lights.....
SO what do you all think? Thanks for the input.

lol, was just going to say that. The 15's will look fine lowered. My rims waited also, had to drop it first.

i ordered tanabe's for my xA a few days ago from SSuperstore.com, they should be in next week. best springs if youre going for aesthetics and the biggest drop. it will look great on 17"s and im sure itd look fine on 15"s as well. check out the thread in the suspension section, theres tons of pages on the DF210's along with pictures and other general info.

I have the df210s on some katana black polished 18's and it looks amazing! I would advice spending an extra 60 bucks or so for the monroe sensatrac rear shocks though.
