Update: Revised retrospexo's springs from road magnet to tanabe

tsavo

My name will be added to this Saturday. Dropping the car off tonight, will be done tomorrow afternoon. I will take pics too.

Got the car back today, it looks SICK. So far, no vibration at all. I would even say the car rides better, sticks to the ground much more and tightened up the suspension a lot.

I will make a pic thread tomorrow, taking her out on the town tonight after a good wax. Thanks to Nardeezy for making this thread.

I'm a 2006...

Anyway, had it up to 80 last night on the way home and I didn't feel any vibration at all.

I was considering some 5mm spacers in the back but I am worried about rubbing issues...

tsavo

I'm experiencing vibrations on the highway when taking my foot off the gas, or slowing down using the cruise control decelerator. They are slight at this point, but sometimes they are more intense than usual. Nothing that would make me have any regrets, I just hope it doesn't get any worse.

Anyone with an AWD using TANABE DF210?

tungo

iTrader: (16)

Yes, NF210 is weak sauce, for me at least. Drop is not noticeable enough. It makes the car look like a stock RWD GS when I saw one in person. DF210 is the way to go, if you want a more serious drop. 2 fingers in rear, 3 in front. Front sits a little bit higher, because of the front strut design.

No vibrations at all. There was a vibration when it was very cold outside, i.e. 0-5 degrees, but that subsided and it doesn't even exist now with the warmer temperatures. I've been up to 80-90 on the highway with nothing.

I'm gonna be switching out to the BC Racing full sleeve coilovers very soon. My car may convert some folks to go with the DF210, if they don't opt for coilovers or air.







BTW, car is far from complete. Just got it in December. Will be finished by the end of this year.

How is the ride and are you still using your stock shocks?

tsavo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there should be no difference in height between a RWD and AWD if they are both dropped on the same springs.
