Lowered on Tanabe NF210 with Velgen Wheels

Just got it lowered with Tanabe NF210 and installed Velgen VMB8 Matte Gunmetal 20X9 & 20X10.5
Ride quality got little stiffer, now it feels just like BMW.

Does anyone know good alignment shop in Los Angeles area? I've been to couple of places and they don't seem to understand what they're doing.

Looks great! What offsets/tire sizes did you go with? Hope you find a competent alignment shop.

Need to lower the car with no wheel gaps. Then you will be golden. Those are really nice concave wheels and that color has a hint of blue in it. Pretty dam unique.

just got aligned few days ago from firestone. life time alignment aren't that bad for $199

anyways i wanted to go down more but in LA all the drive ways and road conditions are not really friendly at all.

and yes that blueish tone got me!!

i had several other choices but all color turned me down. felt like i was staring at plastidipped

I just picked up my car from the shop which I got lowered with Tanabe NF210 springs as well. However, I am now hearing a random rumbling noise coming from the springs (my guess) when I hit a bump or just at random. Is this normal? Is it just settling and the noise will eventually go away?
