Tanabe DF-210's ?? * pics* of current setup. Need Help!

so...Ive been thinking .....

I want to get ride of the 1/2" gap that I currently have with the prokits and Im thinking about running the DF-210's.

Q 1: Hows the ride with those?

Q 2: Am I going to have some "serious" rubbing issues in the rear?

You'll have to do something about the rear tires.... I did just the opposite and went to Eibach pros because the car was too low, especially the front.
I'm considering putting the DFs on the rear and then the ride height would be perfect. This is with 15 & 20mm spacers and camber kits front & rear. Ride was amazing good (I have tokico Dspec shocks too) but speed bumps and driveways were too challenging for me and just a PITA.

since you switched to the eibachs, how would you describe the ride quality of the df210's?

i am running the DF210 on my sedan. I say u need to get front and rear or just a rear camber kit and also get a set of new tires for the rear. You need a shorter tire than the 275/35. Get a 275/30 tire in the rear so u will have more clearance and have less chances of rubbing.
