Ok so most of you guys have seen my car. I love the wheels, but I was so anxious to drop the car I had those custom springs installed on my car because I was tired of waiting and did not want to be 4x4ing around town.

The springs I had on were garbage, I was rubbing all the time, bouncing all over the road and they took away from the handling of the vehicle (because it was so low that I was bouncing of the bump stops). Needless to say I was a little bummed. Finally my Tanabe springs came in and I installed them today!!!!

OMG what a difference, my guy said my bump stops were completely shot out so he put new ones in for me, and I can't tell you how happy I am. I have absolutely no rubbing no body roll and this car is performing again how it should. It is a little higher then before but I actually almost prefer the look.

So if anyone is contemplating getting the Tanabe springs, I am here to vouch that they are legit and feel really really close to stock. I also have a 285-30-20 on a 10.5 inch rear wheel with no rubbing.

first of all you dudes in CALI are pissing me off with all this sunshine and RWD cars that can be dropped with no prob. j/k. just kidding DJ, i don't hate on anyone or anything. you gave me a heads up on the previous springs you had and i appreciate it. i'm glad you finally got your Tanabes and that you're happy with them. the car does look different than when you had the custom springs installed. it looks like it should, i don't think it's to high it looks perfect. congratz again DJ. i'm still 4x4ing here in N.Y.

Looks great.
I'd like to see a straight side shot as well.


Thanks!

Looks great. I don't know if I would like it any lower.

The drop looks good, it probably just rides "close" to stock because of your wheels/tires not the springs.

I don't think you read his OP. He said the car rode like garbage with the other lowering springs he had with the same wheels and tires. If he changed his springs to the Tanabe ones and left everything else the same the only thing you could attribute the change to the ride being like stock is the Tanabe springs.

I have the Tanabe springs with the stock wheels and tires and it does ride just like stock.

Nexson

I read the post. I wouldn't post if I didn't. Riding like stock is refering to a point where the car was stock (no wheels/drop). He is not stock if he is on wheels no matter what springs, so already the ride is sacraficed. Some people as myself plan to get tanabe springs but remain on stock wheels. So in essence the car will probably ride just like stock and not "close" to it because the wheels and tires are bigger. As you have confirmed in your post.

BTW, do you have pictures to share of the drop on stock wheels?

I agree that it does look better now! It was way too low before but thanks for the update.

Why does the rear wheel looks smaller than the front? Parallex error maybe. Hehe...

djpeakSD

I was referring to the ride quality of the springs when I said it rides really close too stock. I don't have pictures of the drop with stock wheels but just for a point of reference, the circumference of my front wheels "front" is 1.3% bigger and "rear" 1.6% bigger so the size is pretty close.

Here is the side view of the car!
