I have the exact same car. I really want to lower mine and yours give me a very good idea how it will look! GOOD JOB! LOOKS GREAT!

How much of a difference is the ride quality compared to stock? I really love the way my car feels and handles stock and don't want to really change that too much. I remember changing the shocks, struts, and springs on my Cobra and it made it ride horribly.

What % tint is that. I'm gettin mine done next week and yours looks about right for me.

yeah, so how is the ride quality of the Tanabe DF210's compared to stock? I like the stock suspension because I dont have to watch out for every single pot hole or little speed bump in the city. someone please let us know. i am "REGGIE" (ready) to buy!

i would say it's very close to stock, when riding, it's like u can feel the what's going on on the road but no like every little bump, i personally slowdown for the speedbumps because i don't want to ruin the shocks. U know how socal roads are. I was on the 60 and 57 freeway, i didn't feel much, and there's lots of construction going on there.If u have a Gs400 it drops the Front 2.0 instead of 1.8 either way, in my opinion i love the drop and rides like it should.

Im not sure wat wat the tint is, probly 30%...
