Early Christmas!!!!!
alright, springs are all in. Car sits really nice, and for the most part the ride is near OEM. I'll get pics soon, just some rain clouds are looming so I'm waiting to see what happens at the moment.
One question - I'm getting noise, like a slight rattle, from the front. Anyone else experience this or know what it might be? I know there's a settling period or 'break in" for the springs - I'm going to give it a day or so then check the fasteners again, make sure everything's snug.
Other then that, I'm lovin' it! ha

i just got done installing my DF210's check out my newb intro thread for picts.
hummm not sure where the noise is coming from. mine has no noise.
ive run Prokits on various cars (actually my G35C is running Prokit on
the rear). no noise ever experienced with them.
i think you may have forgotten to tighten the front endlink.

I'm thinking it's got to be that, hopefully. Although the alignment helped some, it's now more of a slight creak, and only at very slow speeds over bumps. I'm going to go back and check all the fasteners tommorow - the sway bar link bolt was particularly tricky, and I'm unfortunately tightening by feel since I don't have the manual...
Anyway hopefully I won't have to go back in for another alignment if it was based off loose fasteners...
stand by for pics... coming soon!

from the look of the sus you can only change the toe on this car
given that you're using the stock mounts so i doubt tightening the
nut torque is going to alter anything on the alignment.
when you tightened the nuts/bolts, did you use a jack to raise the
knuckle a little bit to put the vehicle's weight on it before you tightened?
some people forget (or dont bother) to do this and it ends up making
noise sometimes.
another important thing is to clean the spring seats before you put
the new springs on.

PICS!!!!
Right before it started to downpour, perfect timing! You can see drops on the ground in the second pic...
and another...
I like it. Not too low, but way better then stock. ride quality is still top notch, not too bouncy, and I'm sure once it settles it'll be even better! I love them, and for the price I couldn't go wrong!
