not bad but I still dont like tanabe

 

nice! what springs are those? and how many inches are those wheels? and do you have pics of it on without the springs??

 

thanks for posting seals the deal for me.

 

as stated on the topic......tanabe df210 springs..

 

205/45/16s x 7 with no rubbing so far. I even hit a big dip at freeway speed and still nothing, but haven't had a full load or a lot of people in the back yet. The springs are prototypes for tanabe (1.9" and 1.5" drop i think) and i am not sure when they will be released, but the ride is kinda smooth with the standard small and bumpy ride for a lowered car. Handles great though and almost no body roll unless it is a huge fast turn with tires squealing.

 

Whats wrong with Tanabe, do you know something I don't

 

jitz can you post some pics from the side where your level front to back and up and down so basically a straight on shot fromt he side?

Thanks bro

 

I think its about settled and it stands under 2 finger gaps per side or about 1.5" gap I would believe.

 

not bad at all

 

Looks good! I was expecting it to be lowered like the one from Tanabe thread but still looks good...

 

yeah I have those springs they tested on that car. I think cause its rockin the 14s with stock offset it will look lower.

 

I personally think it looks great and its exactly what I been waiting for as far as stance goes..I plan on having them when they are available. I just got their intake today, will post pics and whatnot when im done.

 

take pics of ur dead pedal.....everyone will be jealous ha ha

 

wow nice drop. i choosing between df's and the tein springs. hows the ride? not bumpy or harsh?

 

those look awesome! another container full of df210 springs are on their way! hitting us in a week.

 

yeah the drop is bad ass...i think the skunk2 springs are lower than whats said...i dont care, any lower i will bottom out alot more than i do now...i love the drop on mine...and the ride is awesome

 

i like the ride height! car looks good with them

 

Sweet...:d Do You Hace Any Camber Problem? Did You Have To Get An Alignment? Thanks

 

Looks great! Now i have to decide between the skunk2's and the df210s

You should always get an alignment when installing springs/struts.

 

All,

I recently installed the Tanabe DF210's on the car and had my alignment done today. I would just like to say that the part number for the OEM camber bolt is a bunch of BS as i purchased two of these bolts and they don't adjust camber at all (they have no hump) I should have looked at them closer but whatever...

Part # 90188-SCC-A00 is NOT a camber bolt, it is just the regular bolt for the strut.

Anyways, on to the springs and alignment.

Below is a profile shot of the car to give you guys another picture of how low they are


I got the alignment today at Westend Alignment in Gardena, CA. Darin is one of the best in SoCal and does everything using hand tools. A majority of the import/racing scene go specifically to him and he is ALWAYS booked about 2 weeks out.

Specs (No camber bolts, no adjustments in the rear)

Front Driver: -1 Camber +3.25 Castor
Front Passenger: -1 Camber +3.75 Castor
0 Toe in the front
Rear Driver: -1.6 Camber
Rear Passenger -1.8 Camber
5/32 Toe-in

I believe before he adjusted it the front had -.5 camber or something like that so he was able to squeeze some more in the front. Of course with a proper camber bolt in the front, -2 degrees is possible. The rear on the other hand will require shims to get any camber/toe adjustments (crosses fingers for a company to make them)
