So what do you all have? My husband has TRD springs and I got Tanabe springs from UPS today!! I will post pictures up as soon as we get them installed! Post up your before and after pictures!!!!!

[Tiny Giant]

[Dandidani]

Stock,for now...........

[AlexNet0]

stock for now, till I get the money for new shocks/struts, should be soon.

I have Tigertec springs in the basement waiting

[CtrlAltDefeat]

I have Tanabe DF210 springs on stock shocks, they lowered the center of gravity and stiffened the ride... made the handling a lot better I want some adjustable coilovers some day.


 I installed them myself.

looks beautiful! my husband wants some coilovers too but theyre sooooooo expensive!

[toad]

tanabe df210s here also!  same benefits as stated above, but a real PITA during the winter

[Dandidani]

lol. i havent got my installed yet but i cant wait tho!

[toad]

which ones do you have - nf210 or df210?  if i had to do it all over again i would probably get the nf210 or just save-up to get a set of coilovers so i could raise my car for the winter(and adjust the rake of the car - i HATE how the backend of mine sags although others who have looked at it say it just looks 'level' now ).  i think you have larger aftermarket wheels which would help on clearance issues, right?  i'm still on the factory steelies and that with the dfs makes for a GREAT look and sportier handling, but speedbumps are scary and this winter i've basically been an un-paid snowplow driver   aside from all my complaining, once you get whatever springs you have installed you'll wonder how you ever got by without them - just wait until the snow clears first!

[Dandidani]

lol yeah my husband has his car lowered with TRD springs and he also has a body kit. well...trying to get the car out of of all the snow it was buried under some paint came off the front bumper too  . theres not too much clearance with his car lol. it is the tanabe df210 springs. what is the difference between the ones we have and the nf210?

[toad]

nf210 is more like the trd drop(~1.25").  with a body kit it looks really good, but if you don't have a kit(like me) the df210 looks really nice(~1.75-2.0"). 

[Dandidani]

okie so itd be a bad idea for my husband to have the tanabe with his body kit and 18" wheels then huh? lol. yeah i dont want a body kit. i think id be happy with a lip kit if it existed for an 09'    

[toad]

^not neccessarily.  the 18s might actually help the clearance issues considerably as long as the wheels/tires aren't too wide and the offset is high enough.

[Dandidani]

youre supposed to say no so that he will put the tanabes on my car and leave the trd on his. lol. hahaha. i bet he will want to take the trd off his and put them on mine so he can have the tanabe.  we need to get some new tires for his car if hes planning to keep those 18" because theyre too wide and if theres a lot of weight in the car it rubs but dont have the money right now
