I am torn between using the Tanabe nf210 and the df210 springs. There is only about a 1/2 inch difference in the ride height from the nf to the df. Is the ride that much "harsher" using the df210's. I'm sticking with the 16 inch rims.

Rubbing shouldn't be an issue but scraping will.

What causes the scraping? What's the difference between rubbing and scraping? Too bad you just can't test drive a car with the nf's and then the df's.

Your daily drive and driving manner should help you with the choice. I had the NF210's on my '09 (pictures elsewhere on this site). They leveled the rake, made the fender gap more even, and made handling more sporty. I kept the 16's, too, and really liked the ride.

Rubbing occurs when the tire hits the plastic fender liner or the metal fender itself.

The scraping that I experience occurs on driveways or parking curbs and affects only the plastic liner under the front lip of the bumper.
