I'm looking to try and get a definitive answer on whether or not these springs lower the car evenly all around. I have neuspeed sports currently, and they definitely dropped the back end quite a bit lower than the front. So, in my search for new springs that lower the car between 1.5" and 2", I came across these Tanabe's. The advertised drop is 1.8'' front and rear, which is absolutely perfect to me. I just want to know for sure whether or not they sag in the back. This is for an 01 EX coupe, if that matters. I did a search: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/s...archid=1066007, but got a lot of mixed opinions on the drop. I really just want a spring that will lower the car evenly all around. Someone please help me!

BUMP!
I think I'm also gaining interest in the df210s.
i found this thread searching for more info on these springs. not many people on
here are riding on these. while searching someone said it's more of a 2.25" drop
up front and a 2" drop in the rear.. true?

anyone on df210s OR had experience with these springs?
got pics to post? hopupracing sell the df210s for $154 shipped.
my main concern is if the rear will be lower than the front because of the 1.8"
drop all the way around. i'm hoping for an even drop.

Any thoughts?

Well for the GF210s the drop is 1.3f and 1.5r.. Might want to stay away from
that. The NF210s are 1.5 all the way around.

true...but these should work for my coupe right? what would be a good strut to complement such a steep drop. i remmeber searching a while back and reading that not all aftermarket struts work good with big drops like um...Koni's.

i'd say get KYB AGX shocks to compliment the springs...just my opinion tho...

i have a set of gf210's for sale...they are good springs...nice spring rate not too low...the df210s are a lil softer but do lower more...almost 2 inches which is a lot for lowering springs...i've sold a lot of tanabe parts cuz im direct with them so i've gotten a lot of feed back from my customers/clients...

i own the NF210 series springs which is a softer type of spring and is supposedly closer to OEM standards. It is suppose to give me 1.5 drop all around, but this sagged really fast. i'm happy with where it sagged to. stopped at about a finger and a half in front and less than a finger in the back.

yeah me too.
but i'll probabaly be getting tokicos.
you think taking out anything useless in the trink would prevent it from sagging?
i'm thinking about taking out my spare, books, toolbox, etc..

well spare a toolbox weigh a something but i dont think its enough to sag. maybe im wrong i dont really know, i just dont think so. i have my sub and spare back there...it still looks the factory height lol.
