i got confused too, when i opened the box and saw is250AWD stickers stamped all over.. i started installing coilovers late last night, and only finished the rear.. i believe those extenders will come in handy when you want to play around with dampening.. i think i will cut a small hole in the liner, so i can adjust it w/ full liners intact. rear height was about 2 finger gaps also, but when i finish the rest, i will prob go w/ zero finger gap front n back.. just little worried about rubbing though.
*telmz1*
did you have that vibration also with the DF210? i probably have the worst vibration out of all lowered AWDs here. not sure if the coilovers will help reduce that vibration, but we'll see..

Yes I had vibrations with the DF210s. The level of vibration is the same during launch. Actually, when at stop, the vibration in the car is more thus causing a bunch of creaking noises.. totally sucks.

definitly raise it up. you might be having the same problem i was. after about 5 mins of driving, when the car was stopped, i had real bad vibrations. since raising it, it has gone away.
check the height of your car too and see if its level from front to back.

Haha..same here!. I never thought I'd be doing this stuff again. Good thing I didn't buy the e60 sports package like I was supposed to, they have lots of toys to buy.
But if I did - i wouldn't need to buy coilovers or deal with all this vibration and rattling!

Sorry I wasn't able to take pictures of the install to share. They had like 4 cars in the garage and made me wait outside. I met this cool guy - rampage jackson - apparently some famous UFC fighter? Sorry don't watch UFC. He was getting some work done on his big azz truck. We were too busy checking out this escalade getting 30" rims installed and dropped.
I guess there is the huge UFC fight this weekend they were all talking about so I'm going to check that out.

how bout some more feedback on these coils? im really not liking hearing about all these vibrations still. especially if you cant drop it really low without it vibrating like crazy.

I havent purchased them yet, i wanted to hear some feedback first, and so far, its not looking good. I wish i would have done some more research about this car before buying it. i would much rather have the rwd as i dont even need the awd.
