Tanabe DF210 vs GF210
 
Like most of you, I’m looking for the lowest drop for the lowest price and came across the Tanabe DF210 and GF210. What are the differences between these two springs? I know the DF will have the lower stance compared to the GF but are there any other significant differences between these two springs? I’m really leaning towards the DF’s but concerned about running it with the stock shocks. Approx how long will the stock shocks will last? Will there be any rubbing issues running on stock wheels as well?

**Forgot to mention this is for a GD chassis**

How long the shocks last will depend on how you drive.
Stock wheels will be fine with either springs.
Df is the lower drop of the 2 but the GF have higher spring rates so it will handle better at the expense of a little firmer ride.

I have the df210 for over 15k miles and auto cross,the shocks still feel like as they did when they were new with no rubbing issues untill you get rims because of the offset but only in the front.

Do you have any pictures of the set up with the stock wheels?

I'm now debating whether I should opt for the Eibach Sportlines or the Tanabe DF210. Eibach claims to have a drop of 2"/1.8" and Tanabe 1.8"/1.3" Anyone knows which of the two(eibach & tanabe) have the closest spring rates to stock?

It is pretty simple between the Tanabe Lineup

DF210's for DROP V.S. GF210's for PERFORMANCE

Whichever is more important to you...

I personally ride on GF210's

This is a picture of my car coming out of a fast sweeper into a hard corner, probably doing about 70km's... not too much body roll considering the tire position in the picture ;)
