Hey guys...i just bought my second gs. I first had a 2003 Sports design pearl white over saddle...loved it! thought i wanted something else and i was wrong! so here i am again, i just bought a 03 Sports design black over black with 53k on the clock! my question is this...i am going to lower it and put wheels on. By experience other than coils would you choose the tanabe nf210s or the df210s? i will be putting either the rx330 18's or the 3rd gen gs wheels on it. Which will look the best? will i rub with the dfs? and who has had overall happiness with either? thanks guys

 

i say buy coilovers. the cost is not much difference. look into bc coils.

 

how much are they? now if i get coils...they are the shock and spring together right??

 

yes they are coilovers. direct replacement. ull regret getting lowering springs trust me lol... especially if u decide to get coils later on...

 

get the coils, if i were to do it over again i would get coils 1st


edit: i am on the df's with rear rca's. i love the look but it is a little to soft and i wanna lower the front a 1/2" and cant.
bottom line coils allow you the adjust the hieght and damping (soft or firm comfort levels). if i remember the springs will run you around $300 and coils start at about $650-$700. ant the coils are easier to install.

 

Depends on your budget. The NF210 rides nice with the stock shocks, but the drop may not be what you want.

 

I just did sportdesign struts and l-tuned springs. 1" drop. Rides great. Ive only put 3 miles on em tho. I have an 03 sportdesign with 40k.

 

 

Depend. But i love coil.
and BCR is a good brand coil like other said. not too expensive and not too cheap. good way to spend my money on. I think

SLow Cuz It's Low

 

i like your drop...that sportsdesign is clean. So you used your stock shocks?
