yes i did post this in the suspension and handling forum but there is just not many people that access that partucular forum.. i know i rearly do.. haha.. so im going to just post this here and see if i get a bigger responce.. yes i did search but i realy didnt get clear answers.. and this may help ppl in my position in the future...

im planing to get Tanabe DF210s this weekend and i want to get some questions answered before i buy them.

1.) How much more stiffer is the ride coming from stock??? is it a HUGE difference?? unconfortable maybe??

2.) The uneven drop (1.7" in the front, 2.2" in the back) is it realy noticeable?? is it like obvious that the back is lower?? ive heard that since the front carries all the weight of the engine i pretty much evens out.. but is this true??

3.) Is it a bad ride when you have a full car?? (3 ppl in the back)

and people that have them on their tC can you PLEASE post some pics???

Thanx!!

1.) The ride is great, the car handles better.

2.) It's pretty much even and the car looks even. I like the even drop though.

3.) It's a good ride with three people in the back if you are on 17" wheels.


IMO, I love these springs. I had them on at 32 miles on the ODO and i have 21K now. They still ride like the first day.

One problem though, but it can be overlooked. I put 18s on and i rub in the rear. i used to rub like ALL the time, then the wheels wore through the fender liner and now it's only on bumps and dips in the road. the front is fine. other than that, these springs are great.

Sorry I don't really have any decent shots, lol

weird...i dont rub in the back...but i dont have people sitting there or a sub...hasnt rubbed yet...Im wondering if they (shop guys) can give me a little more front negative camber....

i rub in the back with people/load. Best drop outta all the springs. the others are either too low or too high.
