you can NEVER be to low. i want to be stupid low.

get the tein s-techs. i love them, they have a angle drop look on it.

although the back is higher then the df210 but the front is definitely lower.

i dont like the boat look that the df210 gives.


rock the teins

seriously though, i dont think they are too low at all. if i dont scrape on the roads here in san diego, then it is definitely not too low.

or do get what everyone else has and rock the df210s

or if you dont want to be low at all, go with the swift springs.

the s-tech-look definitely looks good, but im feeling my 20mm trimmed
bumpstops on bigger bumps on my DF210's... you're another 15mm
lower which means you're pretty much riding your bumpstops.

it's not about scraping bottom, but rather the distorted alignment
on the rear you got (unless you modified the drum brake carrier with
washers to get the toe corrected), and the insufficient sus stroke
that im referring to as 'too low.'

i absolutley love my tein springs. coming from someone who had an integra on tein coilovers literally slammed on the ground, i love low low cars, and i couldnt be happier with my springs. theyre low, without really losing the nice ride, i don't even feel that low in them. theyre really great. i considered the tanabe dfs but stayed true to my teins haha lemme know if you want pics.

you're lucky cause the rear is non-adjustable (well, unless you do the
washers) and mine came out to .41 total toe. that's a lot of toe-in.
got super straight line stability though. lol if i go lower i get more
toe-in.
