Just finished mine tonight... thanks for the helpfull write up!

I actually didn't have a 6mm allen key that can fit under the metal tray, so I ended up removing the wiper motor and metal tray to get full access to the strut cap from the top... it doesn't take very long at all and I was able to quickly pop the struts out using the impact

Pics coming soon.

Just finished my NF drop up yesterday with the 215/40/17 tires. There has been no rubbing at all with just me in it. Me and a friend installed them and if we didnt bs all day it probably would have took about an hour and a half. Chris the write up was very very very helpful and was crazy cause it was like word for word. Here is an after pic.

Looking good! It's funny that we both ended up installing them on the same day

Your drop actually looks about the same as the DF210's on my Hatchback... and the Axis wheels fit the car VERY Well

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)?

paultyler_82 · 10-02-2006, 04:28 AM

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

vodkalush · 10-10-2006, 10:29 PM

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.

lookin sharp dood, lookin sharp...

vodkalush · 10-12-2006, 09:01 AM

thanks

Lizardboy · 10-12-2006, 02:26 PM

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

vodkalush · 10-12-2006, 02:47 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!
