ive installed a set of spy, a set of tananbe NF210 and a set of DF210.

if u dont have everything sitting right or resting correctly. u'll get noise or uneven height.

i personally run DF210, installed myself and i have no noise or anything.. sometimes i'll have a little creeking but that's only SOMETIMES. you need to use the wraps correctly, make sure the rubber caps on top and bottom are sitting in the correct position and after you LoWER the jack make sure the cups are all lined up and stuff(rear)

I just got tired of the noise and swapped the rear 2" Tanabe DF210 spring for 1.50" Spy rear springs. They have a coil cut from each rear coil so that brings the Xb down to 1.75" in the rear. Also, the Tanabe's were completely compressed on the bottom 4 coils, they were just sitting on eachother. Thus, my mystery squeeky noise! The Tanabe's suck and are definetely not for me. With the Spy springs on, the Xb rides sooo much smoother! I still have the Tanabe's DF210's 2.2" springs in the front though. Nice and soft ride for the front of the Xb, and a stiffer spring rate for the rear springs. The Xb has a "raked" look now. I likes, I likes! Thanks to Green Bean for installing them, Nish and Carl for hooking me up on the springs, and Showpajoe for supervising the install. Gotsta love my fellow Scion Evo ridaz!

I have DF210 on my XB. Installed myself, no problems. That was the first time I had installed springs so I took it slow. NO NOISE.

The most important part on the rears no matter what springs is to make sure the rubber on top and especially on the bottom of the spring is right where it should be. It could get scrunched up or not be centered and the edge of the spring can touch metal like someone stated and make a noise. There isn't any reason one spring will squeak and another won't just from the spring itself, they all go in and out the same no matter what brand.
