Question tanabe df210 or tien s-tech ?!???!?

well after a lot of researching and asking around i have come to a conclusion of either the tanabe df210 or the tien s-techs. the tien springs will lower me 1.2F and .9R vs. the tanabe's 1.7F and 1.3R... so i have been advised that i will definitely need rear camber arms and toe bolt if i dont want my tires shredded, but that the fronts are not necessary...

so my question is which springs should i go with and should i just get the full camber kit??
also i have OEM 19's and i have 25mm and ive also been advised that i should roll the fenders if im going to drop the car this low.

I don't know why anyone hasn't helped ya out bro, but from my understanding.. You will need the camber kit and toe bolt for the rear. Also, if the alignment shop can't get your front back into spec u will need the camber kit for the front as well. Most folks say if you drop below an inch u will need the front and back camber kits

You should be fine with just the rear camber kit... look @ my avatar thats how it sits with tein s tech .... Im taking them out because im going lower (got my new coilovers)... So will be selling them soon ... I would go with tein s tech.

^^^ I honestly don't believe there is.. there interchangeable ... If there is any difference it would be very minimal nothing noticeable

^^ hey man thanks for the compliment! ... I had no issues with the front tires they were perfectly fine I only got a little more ware on the rear tires then I should have ... Its funny because I have the rear camber kit but never got around to installing it... Now ill be buying the front as well because of the coilovers...

My roof is painted black... The overlay you can done @ any shop that knows what there doing ( of course you want to get it done it ) ... I think there should be a thread about it... I'm sure there should be try doing a search...

Later!

I like my DF210s...
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/df210.asp?id=1

I had them for couple of month of driving no camber kit. And normal alignment and I never had a problem. But recently got camber kits... Even so, those driving times my tires were still good. Even though i probably drive my car 10 miles at most a day =] 5 days a week.

im on df210s and i love the drop with my 20s. lovin my stance . they are a tad softer than teins but its not all too noticeable. my camber is -2.2f and -3.2r. id suggest getting rear camber arms atleast if you dont like the cambered look, but the fronts wont be all that bad....IF you run tanabes. teins you just slap on and align and GOOOOOO.

Spring rates are superior with s-techs and the s-tech rears are linear. It's a no brainer.
