Tanabe DF210
Stock shocks
Rear seat removed
No struts of any kind

I've had my Tanabe DF210 for 2years now. They're racked up to 40k on them. Due to the sagging I was forced to remove the rear seat to level out the wheel gap.


Now it's about 1.5 gap on both front and rear. Prior to rear seat removal my rear fender had no gap and I was dealing with a lot of fender rubbing on turns. With the current set up the only rubbing I have is on high speed turns (Looping freeway on-ramp for example)


I don't know if you noticed the Rear fender is lower/longer then the fender in front. For my car it's roughly 24.5inches from ground to peak of front fender and 24inches from the ground to peak of rear fender.

So I guess the DFs are out of the running

Which springs would you suggest for us, Tamago? Coilovers (for any of us who can afford it)?

Makes me hate just driving full suspension set up car here in LA

There was a section of road a few blocks from my house that was too big to even call a pothole. It felt like a 2 inch drop straight down (I actually ran out there with a ruler once) followed by 30 feet of very rough ups and downs with almost no pavement. It ended with a 3 inch sharp jump back to normal asphalt. It was finally repaved over the Summer after years of wear and tear. At the same time other roads are quickly becoming bad too, and you just know they'll never get to it until half the town loses their strut bolts and bushings.

To top that off the 10 freeway's been getting overnight "repavements" too. It was just fine until CalTrans touched it this year. Now it feels like you're driving a lowrider.

It's almost tempting to not even get the car lowered...
