could you check and see where your rear springs are clocked to? so there is an exact equal amount of gap between rear left and right with yours? im not talking close, but i mean exactly even.

kcxd

What do you mean clocked to? i am having my installed as soon as my 09 comes in this week. i want to avoid any future problems and get it done right the first time.

yeah i had the exact same problem with my tc when i got my springs put on... turns out the car was not on level ground so one side sits lower than the other. took it to a parking lot, boom. level.

pickledchang

by clocked to, i mean which way are they oriented... like which way the end of the spring is facing. if you are having them installed, check and make sure the car is sitting level before you drive off.

I know that with Sprint Springs I never had this problem and havent heard of any problems from anyone else, I think you should all ditch those NF's of yours and and go SPS! lol but seriously though there is no right or left side springs for the xD and it should still sit pretty level even on slightly unlevel ground! Go Sprint and I will see what I can do on price !!

pickledchang

how much lower are the sprints than the DFs? ride nice and stiff?

XD_2_NV

The Sprints are a full 2" drop and they are 25% stiffer than stock, so it still is a very nice ride, not bumpy or anything like that, if you decide to go Sprint I am sure that I can get you a good price on them...PM me if you want a number to get a price!

pickledchang

are the sprints progressive or linear? how are your shocks holding up or do you have aftermarkets?

XD_2_NV

Sprint Springs are linear springs progressively wound, just like everybody else 95% of the applications in the industry are progressive wound but are linear weight! I hope that this helps, If anyone need clearification on what the difference is just hit me up, I didnt know untill recenty and it was surprising to me and I actually found out that even nascar and indy race cars use linear weight springs!!!

My shocks are holding up just fine, the springs are designed to use the stock shocks and struts on all applications!

The person who is installing my tanabe springs said he rides tanabe gf's on his nsx and never had a problem. Hope the same goes for the xd.

This isn't creating a problem. There is no problem. The issue is that on a slope you notice there is a smaller gap between the wheel+fender on the driver's side when comparing it to the passenger side. I have no issues from the smaller gap, it's basically a cosmetic issue.

The only way I'd get different springs if I can get them for half the price and find a recommended installer in my area

to me, the car not sitting level on level ground is a problem. ive never had a problem on any cars ive had with aftermarket springs. and i dont just notice a smaller gap, i can see my car squatting to the left from behind as well.

XD_2_NV

Like I said go Sprint Springs!

I have the same issue with coilovers on my XA. I have reinstalled the springs half a dozen times, swapping and flipping them every which way. The only way I could finally get the car level was to raise the driver rear 3/4" higher than the passenger rear. I think it's a problem with the car and apparenty the XD has inherited it as well.

does this happen to stock too??? i go check my stock ist

thats where your gas tank is.... If you have a full tank its gonna sag a little more. Same as if you have a system, both of my subs sit on the driver side and that makes it sag a little lower, but not so much that it is really noticeable.

i have the df's on mine and i have noticed just a slight lean that differs on the ground surface im on. its even there on flat ground. it doesnt bother me but my friend had the same problem on his colorado and it turns out that his problem wasn't how full the gas tank was it was just the location of the gas tank that gave it a slight lean. needles to say he decided we take his drop springs out and use an angle grinder to cut half a coil off of one of them to balance it out, and it worked. idk how safe that is but he hasn't had any problems yet. lol.

Its a month later than this thread, but I just wanted to point out that my rear drivers side is also a little lower than the passenger side with the DF210s.

scionstyle2009

pics would be great, im thinking about getting df210's, but i wanna see this height difference

ChelsDS

It's not that big of a deal, I didn't notice until my mom pointed it out to me. Now, I barely notice it at all.
