tanabe df210+enkei rpf1 teaser

woops i didnt see a few posts up where the guy asked the same question as me.
anyways can u post a pic?
i was thinking about 19x8 +50 advan rzs. mwahahaha...maybe.

 

19s on prius?! That would be interesting... Might as well go wide

 

Have you tried putting on the stock 17" V wheels to see how it looks with the spacers and lowered? I'm more interested in that setup since that's something I might end up doing.

BTW, with the stock 17" wheels, do you think 20mm or 25mm spacers would be too wide on the car? Or would it sit flush with the fenders?

 

Kiokenprius, what did they charge you over at Darkside fo rthe springs? They are only about 20 minutes away from me. Also, how long did it take to get them? I really like the stance of your car. I think it will be perfect for what I'm looking for and save me down the road from spending big money on coilovers. Shortly after I got my car last June I went in there and talked to one of the guys there and he said Kenny (the owner) was in Japan looking at stuff for our cars as well as others, but said they already have lined up a company there that is doing carbon fiber hoods. Haven't checked back to see if they've sold any, but think it would look especially good on the BP's. I'm not sure if you'd even be interested but thought I'd throw it out there. Think they quoted around $600 shipped to Darkside. Not bad all things considered. Once I'm out of my cast and can drive again, I will have to go down and order me up some springs.

 

Any new updates on these? would like to see more pics of the car and how it looks like.

 

I hear ya... with all these rain. Dirty cars are no fun

 

I love my tanabe springs. I dIdnt notice to an ocean of ifference between DF210 and the NF210 In terms of feel, but the DFs are, as expected, lower.

I had 18" TRD 5 spoke wheels on too, no spacers needed, but I went back to the stock rims after a short run on them (at 27lbs per wheel sans tire) the speed up and slow down rates were uncomfortably higher. that said, if I can get some lighter wheels, I'm going back to 18"s

 

Can't wait for the pics? I just order a set of df210 springs, how difficult was the install, I'm a diy guy so some info would be sweet.... Thanks Brandon

 

OP: Did you have to shorten the OEM studs? I mean....I'm assuming your spacers have a hub-centric lip on it.

 

It seems like they lower their prices....

My wheels are 17x8 +44 looking to run the same spacer in the rear? Any info on where and what kind of spacers to get... Also wheres the pics been waiting for ever, this and the metra double din kit..lol

kiokenprius did u get the spacers on, any rubbing? I have 17x8 +44 you think I'll be ok with 10mm? or should I go 5mm? Thanks for any advice.
