Default What would you recommand?

I was shopping around for lowering springs for weeks
and I almost made up my mind to go for Tanabe DF210
but a friend of mine told me since it drops 2.0" in front and 1.8" in the back
I might have rubbing issue if I go for 20" rims later (still believe DF210 looks tight though)
So now, gotta find me other springs and seems like I have two options
I'd like to know what you guys think!


Option 1 - Tanabe NF210 which will drop 1.3" in the front and 0.9" in the back

Option 2 - Eibach Pro Kit which will drop 1.3" in the front and 1.2" in the back

According to this website I checked earlier, Eibach Pro Kit will drop a little lower (only in the back) of course I like my ride to be as low as possible as long as don't have any rubbing issue
Is there anybody have pictures with those two springs (it'll be better with 20's)?
What would you pick between those two?

I don't understand why lowering springs don't lower evenly front and back. Seems odd to me.

It all really boils down to your choice in tire/wheel size and offsets. I have 20's and was on DF210's and did not rub. I now have coilovers and it's even lower and still no rubbing, unless I have it loaded with people.

I always thought it had to do with the front wheel well being "taller" then the rear.

front always have more wheel gap, so a lot of time it makes sense to lower the front more than the rear

if you like to go as low as possible im going to say dont waste your money on springs because in 3 months you wont be happy with the drop and you'll want to go lower.
