Default Got My Springs Installed

Ok so got my springs installed, I also got some pics of suspension and the sway bar comparison if needed. I will take pics tomorrow as I wasn't able to get good ones today. They were Tanabe NF210's

The ride doesn't really feel different, I think it feels a little softer but I havent driven it fully, really drove it from shop and back home so tomorrow I will be able to get a better feel and will be getting pics taken as well.

I got an alignment today and I can see why it felt a little off, the car feels great now he said the rear was pretty off which I figured. Here is the Alignment report. Alignment.pdf

I would wait a week for the springs to settle before getting an alignment. The car looks great though!

I see you young man... Car looks proper with the drop. Now you can show up at HIN without people commenting on your GS SUV. I would have waited a week before getting an alignment. The springs will continue to settle possibly causing you to get another alignment. Can't wait for the wheels... Nice choice BTW.
