Looks great! :thumbup: I have been considering the NF because I heard the TRD and DF springs offer a rather harsh ride. I was worried the drop with the NF wouldn't be enough, but on your yaris it looks great! How are they over stock for ride comfort and handling?

:frown: Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten the NF's instead of the DF's.

The DF look nice and all but sometimes all those tiny bumps tend to add up and start getting annoying :mad:

BTW the car looks great! Are those 17s?

yep its 17' and i dont know yet about the handling and confort.. only drove 5 meter to park it huhu.. i had the DF and it was too low for me.. the bump speed was a nightmare for me.. there is not a big difference between the nf and df but i think nf is enough with 17' depending on the road you have.. here its hole after hole huhu

I still believe NF's are the best springs to put on this car, not too low and still comfortable on quality roads. the only drawback is the rear springs are on the soft side... Sadly, I had to sold mine as the roads around here are just as good as somewhere in south Somalia :frown:

hey Blen, judging from that pic, i want to say that the side wall is either 40 or 45 series. can't tell the width, but the rim size is 17 inches.

Odd, I'm running on Konig 17 X 7 I think 45mm offset ( Not quite sure can't find my offset just using reciept) w/ 215/40R17... with Tanabe DF210 drop...no rub so far except for rear w/ a full car... and if the road is nice there is no rubbing at all either.

How come you're rubbing and I'm not. Then again, I just recently installed my springs just over a week ago.

Is it possible your shocks are wearing out?

bump stop shorten when you had your df's? Therefore you have a shorter bumpstop for the NFs???

Tire Brand??? I'm using Toyos.

I don't know, just my .02cents
