It definately looks dumped. I am curious to know what suspension he used to get it that low. Hopefully someone else will spot the owner and invite them to CL

So you mean to tell me that in the first pic he is running the Tanabe's? That sucker is LOW!~! And I thought I was gonna trick my dad by puttin in the springs when I got the wheels. It might be a little obvious now...

Well, if you want to "trick" your Dad, you'd probably want to go with the NF210 instead of the DF210 anyway. The NF210 do not go as low and keeps the ride on the softer side (i.e. closer to OEM).

Benzoboi , LOL. There’s no way you could trick your dad. The first time my wife saw the car she couldn't believe the difference. She doesn’t even know what springs are

I ordered the Tanabe's, went with the NF-210. It's a pretty rough rider as it is over uneven pavement, and I drive on Wilshire Blvd in LA a fair amount. The 1.3" drop should be enough for me. The important thing is taking the step to drop!
