Exclamation

for the 2006 awd are the tanabe df210's lower (2") than the nf210"s? (1.5") or are my #'s wrong? Also called the local lexus dealer here in albuquerque and asked if they have ever installed springs or coils..They have never done it and won't! But, he did confirm if I had it done the warranty would NOT be voided unless the springs actually caused the damage to the car. He did caution me about intakes and exhaust though which means it would void the warranty if I had those done to the car. I have to stock 18" 5spoke rims and just want to lower it about 2" all the way around ..which springs????

Tanabe DF210's drop nicely. Here's the DF on my friend SanseiGS43's 3GS prior to him going with JIC FLT-A2:



His old wheel setup was 20" Work VS-KF. I don't recall the sizing and offset of the wheels.

keep in mind those are 20s. meaning if you have 19s, you will have a bit more wheel gap
