Stock shocks will not last that long with the Tanabe NF-210. If you want something that lasts longer and rides comparable to soft, then go for the KYB GR-2. If you want something stiffer that will last a lot longer, go with the bilstein HD shocks.

20x8.5+35mm f. 245-35-20, 20x10+40mm r. 255-35-20. it does rub a little in the front but only on hard dips, its just the plastic splash gard in the finder well. it would take a heat gun and about 10min to fix! (i dont drive the car alot so ive been lazy). i plan to change the rear size to 275 30 20 its better suited for the car if you dont like the streched look! i had the 255's laying arround so i thought i would wear them out first!!!!!
