Pics of the drop.

Ill chime in and say I have the Tanabe DF210's on my XB and couldnt be happier. I rate Tanabe over Tein any day of the week in terms of ride quality and product build. Its just a wonderful ride, and at 2+ inches of drop, you wouldnt expect it to be too smooth. I can handle about any turn with very minimal play, the thing handles like its on rails. I plan to go the same route on my MP5 as well.

Awesome! (alright)

That's because the DF rates are lower than the Tein rates. As far as quality goes, Tein is top notch. But I'm not saying Tanabe isn't.

How do you like your setup so far? I should probably post in your thread (beer) Hehe.

The more I drive, the more I like it. How about you?

I am glad you like it.

As for me, my struts are poopy. They are noticeably worn. It's not bad, but I believe it can be better.

P.S.: I'm putting in some HP's real soon (hippy) and I will report back.

Stock replacements would be better.

Perhaps, though I did get the HP's installed. I must say the ride firmed up quite a bit and there is no bounce at all when hitting big bumps on the highway. I would say it's a fine setup for daily driving.

Obviously you'd need longer studs.

Not neccesarily.
As long as you get three full threads(full turns) of engagement..you are fine.
