Its production changes, old batch, new batch type of thing from what my friends were telling me. I am going to call Tanabe tomorrow OR maybe a Tanabe rep can tell us what is going on.

The springs I got came in the box and it was clearly labeled for as DF210s. Not to mention, the springs sit low... a lot lower then NFs. I've seen a few NFs on CL and they are no where as low as the DFs IMO.

ek9...nice work bro. Liking the wheel choice, very clean. Are you going to tint your ride? You should hook up with Flex, and go pimp your silver GS's. My nuts turn blue too when it's cold out.

All tanabe springs are red now due to saving money on production (cheap asses)

Its good enough for me, I would prefer a tad bit lower but I'm not going to cut my springs for that.

Thanks for the compliments.

Sweet ride!! really like the rims!

Where to you guys in SFL get your wheels and springs installed and alignment?
In in West Palm, but always down in ft. lauderdale, and want to find a place I can trust with good rates.

Springs we installed ourself. Its pretty simple and straight forward to do. Wheels, I got them though a friend who works for a wheel shop. As for alignment, I have yet to get that done... still waiting for the springs to "settle" if they ever.

Alignment, I would take it to Miami chassis, its around 300 bucks but they make sure everything is fixed and on point. The rear toe will for sure be fixed, I've seen what they do to my other friend's car.
