It all depends on what you're looking to get from the springs. Do you just want to lower the car? Or do you want to improve the handling? Or both? I have no expirence with either spring, but a lot of people do like the Tanabe's.

Don't even think about it. Get the DF210s and call it a day. Seriously.

If you don't cut the bump stops, you'll bottom out sooner. Cut em in half.

No questions about this one DF 210's. They drop the box to where I think it should be sitting from the factory.

You'll rub on Progress too, mate. Buy camber plates and roll your fenders, you'll be great. It'll look hella good too.

Dude, I'm sorry but ditch those rims and get some better rims that are fitted well. (Just my opinion here, I dont mean to start an argument.)

My suggestion would be to sell the wheels and get the springs. Don't install them or install them right away, its up to you, and later on down the road, once you have the cash saved up, get some wheels you really like. Either way good luck.
