Your car is looking Ultra sweet!!

I saw you had another GS with Tanabe springs a while back, curious how you would compare the J5 coilovers to the NF210 since you have had both..

How do they contrast in ride and handling vs each other, and vs stock? Which is closer to the stock ride?

Also do your scrape or rub your tires or your bumpers ever?

I was thinking of going to the Tanabe’s myself, but not sure I want to have to worry about it scraping up the front end! I have a fairly steep driveway, and would want to scrape it every day… Its pretty narrow too so makes it hard to hit at an angle.

Night and day coilovers are better in general. The switch was a great choice and the ride is not bad at all. The tanabe's were not bad but you will feel the ride. You shouldn't scrape they are not that low.

Well I have to scratch off the Aimgain kit as it wasn't going to reach in time so will have to wait tell next year. Sadly I still have an itch to mod so I think I plan to do some more vinyl and will post up the end results, has to do with calipers and front bumper. Here are some night shots for the build.
