I'm on DF210s, its a nice drop. I wouldn't have any rubbing or scraping problems if I didn't have my lip kit. You should be fine on them IMO, the NF springs are too weak of a drop.

I think Long still has his set from when he switched over to coilovers, which wasn't too long ago. If you need his # LMK, just PM me for it.

The DF drop is the best bang for the buck.

I'm on Nf's, they ride like stock. I think it I get new rims, I might try the DF's, I have a 35 tire, so there isn't much gap with the NF's, if i did DF's, would probably go 30's. Thats my 02., either way, for an AWD GS, the springs make a huge difference.

thanks everyone for all replies and pics I really appreciate it I never knew they make 2 different kind of Tanabes . do this springs wear out the stock shocks quicker ? and does it void the factory warranty ?
