The Df210 have soft spring rate.

15 % more than oem,

I think that the damper and spring are well balanced.

it's just a bit better than oem with a significant drop.


SOMETIME: Ground clearance can be HAZARDOUS WITH THIS KIND OF COMBO,LOW AND SOFT SPRING RATE

The drop is supposed to be; 2'' in front & 1.8 in rear

I have the blues and df210s on my del sol right now and all I can say is my ride is stiff...I feel every bump its a great setup for corners and ride comfort just those bumps kill it when u hit um other than that there good

Look for other shocks. Kyb agx are great for a mild drop, and so are tokico illumnia. If you have some cash koni would also be a great shock.

I dont recomend the blues,even thought the springs have a softer spring rate, the shocks you are looking at are not designed to be on a lowerd car.
