Do you own an AWD or RWD? AWD has issues with vibration when lowered...

Check out my sig, I'm running those springs and it's been almost a year since I've had them. Best lowering springs money can buy. Eibachs was on my previous ride and that shxt was harsh, almost back breaking and annoying. With the Tanabes, feels like OEM but gets stiffer as it compensates for the 2" drop.

Nice ride and i like the drop! So the df210 produces a smooth and comfortable ride? Any rubbing issues on the front or rear? And what's that thing i read on ur post about shaving the rear fender flat so it doesn't rub in the rear? I have no clue but any suggestions and tips would be much appreciated! I can't wait to drop it like it's hot!

You shouldn't rub after lowering on stock wheels, if thats what you are asking since the drop is only 2". I had it on my AWD it was was a pretty smooth ride, besides the vibrations but i have an AWD.
