Here she is!! I'm realy proud of the final product! I bought BC coilovers (type BR) for the track. I also tinted my windows last winter. To come?? sway bars+big brake kit :biggrin:

The Yari last year (with Tanabe coils)

i don't think she will have problems. It does seem darker than it is though...

mine is 35% all around, and it does look like very dark at some angles, or some time during the day.

Trish, we haven't heard from you in such a long time!

I actually like the look of the Tanabe drop much more. But, the coilovers with sway bars will probably work better on the track. Keep us posted.

trish whats the front tint? no piggy problems yet?
50% front - 20% rear. No problem yet. They seem more black because the layer is "new type"....it reflect much more the sun than usual one (have some kind of mirror effect in it, but can't see it with a quick look)

Yeah I know, I'm a little busy with my new project (Keep it on the track) :tongue:

DF210
Rub much?
Not when I only driving "normaly", but when I push onto curves or when I hit a pot hole...

?? They look flat black from the pictures.. lollol I was like "WTF"?? ahaha

DF210

How much did you rub and how were they in the winter? Roads are crappy here in western Pennsylvania. Not sure if I wanna get DF and rub, etc. or get NF.

I'm in Eastern Ohio, about an hour away from the PA border. Our roads suck here too, and the DF210's do fine in the winter.

I never rubbed with my DF210 (during winter I have 15" wheels, and 17" for summer), they were doing good too in winter (and we have bad winter here....let me tell you :wink:)

Very nice... I'd love to see this setup on a LB... I love how my DFs look on my LB even with stock wheels...

really? That's strange mines pretty even.. and if it's not even, it's a little lower in the front...

I think I'll go check it now, actually to be sure...

The tanabe setup is like .3 inches lower in the rear than the front, this is so they could "level" the car out and make it look flat. It works, but looks better with an even drop.

both front and back are exactly 24 and 1/4 inches from the ground through center of the wheel to the top of edge of the wheel well..

whoa now that you mention it, i do see that on you first picture... maybe you got the LB springs instead of the sedan? (sedan's heavier in the back so needs stiffer springs back there i think)

As you mentioned track car, it's a bit to low for that. Roll your fenders, remove some positive camber up front, and you should be good to go.
I hate the dropped look, or the "slammed" look. It's never functional, unless you have the fenders to match.

I love the look, but as you said, not very functional that low.

For sure, I'll do some adjustments :smile:
