if the ride comfort is 1st priority, go with the NF's

Just finished my df install (well about an hr ago....) nothing like putting your yarr back together with a halogen lamp..

I'll snap some more pics tomorrow morning and post them.

Vodkalush, how much harsher is the ride compared to stock?

vodkalush · 10-12-2006, 03:47 PM

it is a little rougher, but the handling improvement makes up for it.

and honeslty I dont notice all that much, as its alot more fun being able to take turns at 60+

Cool! I haven't been able to decide between the DF's or the NF's. I use the car to commute about 90 miles roundtrip 5 days a week. It's nearly all freeway driving though so maybe I won't notice too much either.
Thanks!

I have a 120 mile round trip, all highway, and its perfect.

Go get a set, and install 'em yourself, its C-A-K-E!

Alright! You guys sold me! I'll drop her with the DF's! They're cheaper anyways!

She's gonna be DANG sexy!!! I'll just have to be a little more careful when we take her camping the next time, driving in the dirt. LOL!

Fender Gap...It was the first thing that had to go...my two cents for you....it doesnt matter what you choose.. nf or df....as long as its dropped.

with the df's though, i have had to be EXTRA careful on dips..and actually have to pay CLOSE attention to the road when driving...

Dropping it is definitely my next upgrade. One way or the other. I got the windows tinted first(kept me alive in the Palm Springs heat of the summer), then got the air horns so I wouldn't be run out of my lane again! Now I just wanna lower it and I'll be good for a while. I'll probably just wait a while to upgrade the intake and exhaust.

Fender gap SUCKS!!!

Nope... Consult Tanabe for any questions you may have. Or ask Chris who has talked to them directly. They are cake to install and will save you some good money.
