I was wondering if anyone had these springs yet... they look like they would be good ride height. My dad ordered some for my brother's celi about a week ago and they e-mailed him and said they would be on back order for 6 weeks. I'm thinking this is just B/s cuz they can't or aren't going to get them. Does anyone know of any other place i can order these springs? It would be a great help if someone could give me a link to where i can order them. Thanks alot guys >biggrin.gif>

yea i got them, there is a place u can get them for 170 shipped but i can't think of it right now but i'll find out for sure. i've had tein and sus. tech. on my previous cars and by far these are the best, not only in confort but the drop. They'll give you 2.2 drop in front and 1.5 in back so its nice and even. i'll take some pics tomorrow.

Got mines last week. I got them for $159 shipped.

Modern Auto Performance. They are our local sponser/performance parts for the upper midwest.

I get everything through them. They can pretty much get anything for me thru them.

I have DF210's on my Celica and I love the way the car looks and handles... The only thing I would suggest is to install some bump stops on the front shocks at least b/c if you hit a big pothole the shocks will bottom out (the drop is bigger in the front that with other springs). Good luck!

coilovers are just adjustables springs with adjusting hats/caps whatever you want to call them they give a simple tuning advantage but bumpy ride biggrin.gif
drop springs drop the car no further that what is advertised........i may drop a little more or less it all depends.

so you dont need and adjusting caps for these springs thumbsup.gif can't wait to see them pics guys

should be normal cuz they're new. give it time and if the noise comes any louder then you might wanna have the shop check it.

Doesn't look low enough for me. I liked the TRD's - not that low though. I like my Intrax because they are lower than TRD's but I still want lower. Our cars look mean slammed. with of course the consideration of the underside.

I cut my bumpstops in half so it won't bottom out.
