Tanabe DF210
hey everyone im new to this site. i stumbled upon this site and seen that it has a lot of useful information so i decided to join hope u guys have enough room for me HAHA
so im currently running Tein S.Tech on OEM struts and the ride i just to rough for me. so i decided to go with the Tanabe DF210 since they have a softer spring rate and they will also provide more of a drop for a better appearance. question is will i feel a big difference being that the Tein spring rate was 9/11 and the Tanabe spring rate 6.0/5.6? also should i go ahead and get new struts or should i be fine with stock struts?
thanks in advance for any and all help!

u can use em with stock struts..but they will blow quicker than aftermarket ones..i am on stock shocks..and so far it isnt blown..but i kno its getting weaker..if u have the money..jus get some bilstein sports and the df's and u should be fine

well..im on chopped DFs 
..so im wayyyyy lower than what u would be..but before the chop..the ride is pretty smooth..nothin is gonna feel STOCK besides STOCK..but its still smooth and may be comparable to stock feel..u'll probably feel a lil more of the road
