ok so from what i have read about the tanabe df210 sounds like what i want. get it somewhat low but still have a good ride. but im sure once i pop these springs on the stock shocks will soon die. so my question is what would be the best shock to put on my car. i want to get it lower, handel a little better but still have most of the ride quality of oem. what is there for me to look at?

i just got some df210, can't wait till it comes! but same here. i looking around what shocks to get. my friends tells me to get bilstein shocks because it is the best one for our cars. and he says KYB are uncomfortable and should be only used for trucks. im looking around for cheap shocks

boxcarfan

ok so i got KYB and Bilstein. anymore inputs on these two? or any other brands?

I have the Df210s with kyb's the ride is pretty good...

boxcarfan

SmoothGS3: how close or far away is it from the oem ride?

ROBGS300

where would be a good place to buy these df210?

boxcarfan

go to where everything is usually a good price...ebay...

SmoothGS3

its not that much different...just dont expect the ride of a "lexus" you feel alot more on the road then the oem set-up.

boxcarfan

ok good. and how is your tire wear? do you have edge wear on the tires and whatnot?

gs300cky

same ? as boxcarfan. i know when you lift a truck it messes up your whole suspension (if its a cheap lift) and your tire wear. is it the same effect with lowering?

SmoothGS3

my tire wear appears to be the same,but i really havent had the drop on the car long enough to see a big differance.

well i work at the dealership so i can play with my alignment all the time lol.
