Which lowering springs should I choose?

Unless you are willing to invest in coil-overs, I would put my money to use on a set of Tanabe's. If you would like a "dramatic" drop, get the DF210's, if you would like a mild drop and a great ride, buy the NF210's. Garm is selling them both at great prices...

Hi

I want about 1,6 to 1,8 inches drop.

What do you mean with it rubbed too much? Do the wheels rub onto the wheel wells or fenders?

How much did the Tein S-Tech lower your car?

You say I should choose the DF210 for a dramatic drop and the NF210 for a great ride? What do you mean by that? Does it get bad handling with the DF210´s?
I would like the car to be stiff and good in the curves?

Who is Garm?

Regards Steven.

Steven,

The rubbing was between the tire and the wheel well, not the fenders.

The Tein S-Tech springs lowered my car approximately 1.9" at each corner.

I apologize for my choice of words regarding the choice between the NF and the DF; what I mean is that the NF springs have provided me with a better feel than the Teins with a nice looking drop but the car does not sit as low as it would with the DF springs. You won't really get a stiff ride by just swapping out the springs, you may have to upgrade your shocks/struts and purchase other suspension add-ons.

Hi Matt

Ok, but it must me more stiff than it is stock when it´s lowered about 1,6"-1,8"?
Which wheels did you have on when it rubbed the wheel wells and can there be done anything to it? Was it every time you drove?

Regards Steven.
