Arrow ****WTT: Tanabe Df210 Springs For Tanabe Nf210 Or Something Comparable****

I recently picked up a set of wheels and Tanabe DF210 springs from another CL member. The springs are brand new and still in the box. I am looking to trade my DF210's for some Like new or New Tanabe NF210's or for something comparable. I am looking to drop my GS4 about 1" to an 1.5" and the DF210's will drop it 2". I have a staggered set up and I am affraid that the DF210's will rub and I do not want to roll my fenders.

If anyone is interested PM me. I would prefer local, but I am will to ship. If you would like picks send me an email address I can send them to.


KILA!

BTW, you might not rub. i have 20s with the df210 set up, but good luck with trade if that's what you really want to do.

Hey Fonzy,

How wide are your 20's? I have 18x9.5 in the rear.

KILA!

What are the offsets on your rear wheels? They are not anything rediculously wide. If your offset is higher than 30, you will not rub unless your put tires on that are wayyy too big.

I am not sue what the offset is. I have L-Tuned 18's (OZ SALINAS) and the tires are Michelin PS2 275/35ZR18. What do you think?

You should be fine man! My DF210's have a dead coil cut off each spring(only on there for a couple months until the car goes in for air). I have a 19x10 et 20, and I do rub, but not that bad. I am also running a 265 back there. Trust me, i looked at the wheels you have before I got mine, you will not rub at all.

Thanks golfkid777! I am going to go ahead and just go with the DF210's. I probable should have started this thread in the forum, but I am real happy with the response.

I am going to go ahead and keep these! I will through up some pic later in the week once they are on!

MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD!!!

I definitely suggest you go with the Tanabe DF210 as well. I have the Tanabe GF210's and im not happy with the drop. I have a set of Espelir ASD springs which im thinking of swapping in. The reason is the drop on the rear looks a bit higher than the front which gives a "rake" look where the front looks lower than rear. I dunno, could be just me but i definitely say DF210's all the way.

Here are a couple pics of my drop. I do rub, but my wheels are ALOT more aggressive than yours and I have 1 dead coil cut off each spring front and rear.




And here are a couple from before I put the wheels on, right after install, the car settled a hair after these were taken. The ride on them is sooo comfortable to.

OH HELL YEAH! I feel much better about the DF's. I love the look of your GS. Had you already cut the dead springs in the before pics?

Thanks GS3.0.... Good Luck with swap. Do the GF's ride rough?

KILA!

Yes I had already cut the springs in the before pics. But they have settled quite a bit since then. The car has only been driven about 200 miles since the springs were installed, it is parked for full stereo install.

golfkid777, It looks great with the dead springs cut! Have you done any additional suspension mods?
