Need reviews of Tanabe DF210 Springs

Thinking about getting some springs to drop my sedan until I can do coils (want to do wheels and coils at the same time, but for now just want a nice drop on the stockers) just to increase the handling ability and get rid of the granny gap.

I've got an '03 Sport Sedan and am looking for reviews from any other Sedan owners with these springs. Pics would be appreciated if you feel inclined to share them.

Just want to know:

1.) How much did you pay for yours? (used or new)
2.) Has the ride quality decreased, increased or stayed the same?
3.) How much of a drop did you get?
4.) Thoughts on the improved handling and cornering abilities?

I appreciate the help. I did search the forums, but couldn't find any reviews on this particular setup on a sedan. Thanks!

Funny you should post this thread. If you're interested in buying a set DF210s... I can sell you mine. I bought them used awhile back. They have around 9k miles on them I think. No tears or anything and they look great. Just never got around to putting them on because was afraid that i'd have to end up getting a camber kit even after the alignment so just left them in my closet.

The drop for an 03 sedan should be pretty mild. I believe the drop should be 1.2 front and 1.5 back or so.

The specs from Tanabe say 1.7F/1.5R for the DF210's. It's my understanding that these will give you a very nice drop as opposed to the NF210's which are about 1.6F/0.9R and the ride quality is supposed to be "superior" (hence the request for reviews)

Can you send me some pics and PM me with a price? I appreciate it.

Any other reviews out there ??

The guy that I bought them off of had no complaints about the springs except that he wanted a lower drop so he ended up getting coilovers, but anyways yeah I'll post up some pics and send you a price in a bit.
