DF or NF for s sedan? 1st priority is ride. so which 1?

also with these springs, what tire/wheel setup is best for no rubbing even with 4 seats used (170lbs per person)?

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!

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!!!

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!

One more question guys! When you put on your DF's did you upgrade your shocks? I thought I read a thread somewhere on here that with the DF's you should really upgrade the shocks since they would be compressed more than with the stock springs or even the NF springs.
