What are your plans with the car? Most people are having issues with 06-07 models. So I'd say you'd be good with 08 and up. But if you can I would look for a 2010 model because it has music streaming from your phone lol. If you plan on lowering it don't go with awd unless you have a need for awd. Any other questions I can try to help you with?

🤣🤣🤣 yeah it's been one of my favs for a long time and since they haven't made reps of these I decided to go with them. I had some White TE37 but it didn't go with what I was aiming for.

I also feel like those stock filters do not let the engine breath enough. however, Im going to connect my wideband and see what its doing before and after the intake to make sure im not running too lean.

Ravspec sells BC Coils with the UAS bags already mounted. I need to look into the airrex and accuair combo u mentioned. I just realized I never looked at airrex stuff.

yeah I also think lowering the front would look funny but hopefully these spring will compensate for the front currently being higher than the rear right now. Yup I said it, the front currently sits higher than the rear with stock springs. I don't know why but it bugs the hell out of me. id rather nose dive and look like im on a drag strip than look like the next man going to the moon(wouldn't be a bad idea though ).

but anywho heres the pics of my order that came in Tanabe DF210. again this is a temporary solution. since I still got my hookup I got these bad boys for a 100.






I also wanted to point out that I can't lower the rear because of the tire rubbing on that rubber or plastic fender lip thing lol. if it cambers enough where it will clear ill probably lower it today if someone can chime in how much camber they get with the df210's. ive been searching and they don't post up camber specs after lowering without camber kits.
Nice choice. I have those on my 430. It looks great.
