enterconne : as far as a good deal on the springs, I'm ordering through my local shop where I have a car club discount, but if you want something offline, I think www.overboost.com/obs has good rates on these specific springs. it might be best to just get some shocks while you redo the springs if you have money, but I heard many people just use their stock shocks and don't have many problems. don't forget to get alignment as lexus kid stated you should check out the thread next to this one where a member just got his tanabe nf210's put on to see what the drop will look like.

I had the same concerns as most of you guys in this post before I installed my Teins with my staggered 20's and with a 1 finger gap front and 1.5 finger gap rear my camber specs are .5 degrees out of spec on each front wheel and .2 degrees out of spec on each rear wheel and thats at max adjustment. The way I see it if you are not taking every corner at 65 mph and coming to a screeching halt at every stop light then 1 - 1.5 finger gap should not be that bad....
