The wear so far is pretty good, camber is not really affected as much because my drop is moderate (imo). Sometimes I do wish I had gone staggered but this is my daily driver and I wanted to get the most out of the tires which means doing the recommended rotation. With staggered that is limited because of the size difference. So overall I am happy, maybe wish I would have gone with a little more aggressive offset but nothing spacers can't fix.

I do have slight rubbing in the front when sharp turns are made but no rubbing with full carload unless I hit bump fast.

I have the NF and the ride is smooth as stock. Too much like stock for me. One of these days I'm changing to the DF or coils.
If you like the stock ride, NF's all the way.

I think Long still has his set from when he switched over to coilovers, which wasn't too long ago. If you need his # LMK, just PM me for it.

It's on stock shocks, handles surprisingly well IMO. I want to get coilovers so I can go lower, but for now this will do. They are 20s, check my sig for the specs. I still see fender gap, but barely. lol

yes, DF210 is lower than NF210.

specs:
tanabe NF210: 1.3" front/0.9" rear (part #TNF112)

tanabe DF210: 2.0" front/1.8" rear (part #TDF112)
