Df210's with good shocks ride great, but when the shocks blow its gunna ride ****ty.

my shocks(stock) finally blew after about 35K miles. but before the blow it rode and handled great.

damnn moneys a problem for me, so all i can afford are these df210 but im pretty sure my shocks are long gone. Previous owner didnt replace anything since he got the car. its a 1993. only thing new on it is the 2jzgte swap , with some new 19 straggerd rims, sounds.

The DF210s are great IMO. I wish I wouldve afforded coilovers, but Im extremely happy with them. If youre balling on a budget like me I recommend them! They also lowered my car alot for springs.

you can get a set of decent used coilovers for around $500, I would just go with that.

i've got a used set for you if you want? they're tanabe sustec pro's, the newer ones with the helper springs.
