Installed Tanabe Springs
After checking out all of the pics for the first month of ownership I decided to go with Tanabe they advertise 1.4" drop in the front and 1" in the rear. The install took about 1hr 45 min from start to finish. I've been looking at a couple different 19" wheels but for now the stockers will do but I may add a 15-20mm spacer in the front (to fill in fender gap) and 10-15mm in the rear. Anyway on to the iPad pics lol

So far I've put about 100 miles on the new springs and the ride is very similar to stock in fact it's a bit smoother with a more solid feel. The steering response is quite a bit quicker as well. I t could be in my head but up around 80mph I can feel the car being pushed down by as the air goes over the car. I can wait for Tanabe to release their sway bars and strut tower brace. I forgot to add that I also have the front Tanabe under brace.

Looks good! Interesting though the advertised drop looks very similar to the RSR half downs that I have that advertise less than 1.0" all around. The Tanabe's appear a tad lower in front and a tad higher in the back. It'll be interesting to see if they settle any. Have you got an alignment check yet?

Springs look like they are linear and doesnt have that reverse rake look, the front is lower than the rears. This looks good 
hows the ride to stock?
