tanabe df210 owners chime in

i'm planning on a drop but was curious if anything needs to be done as far as rolling/shaving fenders on oem 19's?...i'm not running any spacers if that matters...also, what is the most important part in camber kits-front? rear? toe bolts?....eventually, all four corners will have them but which are more critical in tire wearing issues...

you should be fine without rolling the fenders. stock offsets are pretty weak.

most important is camber/toe. you can adjust the front toe, but you'll want an spc rear camber/toe kit.

Just a quick warning about DF210's. Your car is going to be slammed. I had DF210's before switching to my coilovers. It was just to low for me and I was scraping everywhere and even bottomed out a couple of times. So hopefully you live somewhere with very smooth roads and driveways that are not too steep.

Honestly, I think you will end up regretting it. I loved the way my G looked with the DF210's because it made my car look slammed. But then I started scraping my front end and exhaust even on mild driveways and speed bumps were a nightmare. Then one day I bottomed out on a very mild dip. That's when I got rid of those and got Tein Flex coilovers w/EDFC. I had the DF210's for like 2 months and I couldn't enjoy driving my G because I always had to be very cautious of where I was driving.

bigugly, if you can find out how much shipping will cost to 70448 i may be interested in picking up your set...does anyone know if installing used springs will still settle or if they will already be broken in
p.s. how many miles are on the springs?

Bump, does anyone know if used springs will still settle or are they already as low as it will be once they are installed?

Used springs shouldn't take too long to settle if at all.
