i got the tanabe DF210, i put them on today and realized that it looks almost the same, does it take a few day for it to settle?? first time using lowering springs and not coilovers...lol

alright and 2nd my KYB GR-2 i ordered is all black shocks and not grey like most GR-2, and it has a sticker on it that says Excel-G and not a normal GR-2 sticker....are these the same thing everyone else got??

How would you rate the KYB struts? I want to change all four struts soon and don't want to lower so i was told that I am ok with original springs even tho i have over 260k miles on the car. Is the ride quality as in comfort of the KYB similar to the stock struts? Thanks

the Springs to begin with a small drop, so thats why it might not be that noticable "Lowering Springs drop the vehicle 1.8" in the front and 1.0" in the rear" this was stright from the website
