Talking My Tanabes have arrived!

After searching everywhere for a supplier who had them in stock (they were backordered). They have finally arrived!

Check out the pics.

I am not sure. I haven't driven my GS in over a year. I had it parked in the garage collecting dust. I moved to North Carolina and the car is in Alabama. I am thinking about going back this weekend and installing them.

I all of a sudden decided to redo the GS. I ordered some KYBs, These lowering springs, lower control arm, about to order some 6000k HIDs (Ebay), New Kenwood mobile DVD (got jacked / broke passenger window while parked over a friends house), and a new paint job (deer came out of no where and hit me in a heavily populated area, I didn't hit it, it hit me on my passenger fender so I found a good fender off a 94'). I have some 17" Niche Neptunes on it now thinking about upgrading to some 20s. Also thinking about NOS.

Maybe I should sell it ........ but its hard to let go.

Here's a old pic of my GS3. I have some fat chrome exhaust tips on it now which are not on this picture.

Vipguy: LOL. Yeah only problem is my car is 376 miles away right now. I'm thinking about planning a reunion this weekend for that very reason.

I agree with GSWarrior, I have them also, and I'm quite pleased with the drop and the ride. It's stiff enough to remind you that it's better handling but comfortable enough that it's not a pain to ride in.
