Talking need help with picking out springssss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whats up guys,

finally i got the money to blow off on some springs. i got my mind set on the tanabe's but dont know whether to get the df210s or the nf210s. all my friends keep ranking on my gs cause of the fender gap -_-. here are my set of problems :/

1. this is my daily from school to work and back driving all over miami's perfectly soft roads -_- bs there all full of pot holes.
2.my rims are a lil too wide... am sitting on 20"s that are about 9" wide give or take . heres the tire size 245/35ZR20 95y.
am double thinking the df210s cause then my front tires will be rubbing on the fender.

I NEED YOUR HELP CLUB LEXUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i would appreciate it if someone could photoshop a pic to show me the results of the springs or show me pics of there car .....

and coil overs are out of my budget :/

Your first problem is your being influenced by your Peers..Are you 16?

Man up..and make decisions based on your own NUTS.. not your buddy thats wearing skinny Jeans.

Save the money you have and continue saving till you have enough to get some coil overs. Lowering on a high mile shock may or may not last long.

I'd recommend saving up a little more for coilovers as well, Megan EZ's will be great on a budget, I'm running them now with no complaints. They're softer than what the extreme fitment guys are running but will work for "normal" wheel fitment. If you're deadset on doing something now, go with the DF-210's, I ran them for 3 years, good drop for a spring and very comfortable, almost no gap on 20's. Not slammed like you can do on coils but a solid drop. Just be aware that you're shocks will go quicker than normal and that'll end up costing you the same as coils, plus multiple installations if you're not doing the work yourself.

What are your offsets and tire sizes? That info. will be key to determining how they'll fit and whether you'll run into any rubbing issues.
