i know the DF is for max lowering anfd the NF is for a suble drop but there is any diference in color..... cause i bought some DF off ebay any dont seem to be low enough, compare to some pics i have seen here looks a little high to me by the way the springs are red

 

DF and NF are both red in color. Post a nice clean side view pic so we can see how low it looks.

Also, Tanabe charges more for the NF springs than the DF's, so nobody would send you the NF's on purpose if you ordered the DF's.

 

Also the springs will take a few weeks to fully settle.. They may appear high now, but will probly settle to the proper drop after 30 days time..

 

no man i have like 6 month with the springs so i cant believe that they need to settle even more, also i havent take it to align, the top bolt of the struts is mark just like the factory setting, i dont know if that wolud be the reason but i give u the facts

 

My NF's haven't "settled" at all from the original day I put them on. It won't affect your ride height, but you should definitely get an alignment. When I dropped mine, it drove perfectly straight, but the front negative toe was 3x the outer range of the factory specs; this would have led to excessively fast tire wear had I not done the alignment..

 

i havent gotten an alignment, but i am giving myself an excuse to buy new wider tires...

 

If you're looking for excuses, I'm really good at helping others spend THEIR money.

 

tanabe springs are known not to settle. Their springs are fully compressed when they leave the manufacture

 

^^ I don't really believe that. I installed my NF210's the other week and am lower today than last week. It definitely settles.

From Tanabe website:
"Loading of the spring is part of the final testing process after production. Loading the spring compresses the spring to measure the strength and ensures tolerances within the spring's structure. Conventional loading processes load it to a maximum of only 50-70%, which causes a possibility of sagging and deformity. Using this machine, the spring is compressed 100% to determine that each spring has full function, and will never deform. By loading the spring to the full 100%, the spring is pre-engineered and tested to never sag."

Basically, it is pre-settled to an extent. More-so for performance and tolerance specs. I don't think it makes the spring 100% settled, but more to ensure the spring won't deform/sag like mentioned. Normal settling though with all the springs seems only natural however with more consistent use.

 

cionide keep helping me spend please if ya find nice rims let me know im open to suggestions....my question is with df's opposed to nf's how bad will i scrape rolling on 17's?
