Default 2016 gs f sport tanabe installed!

My buddies and I decided to put my springs on yesterday using a members DIY installation guide and it went rather smoothly.

It was pretty tough to choose between the super downs and the tanabe but glad I went with the tanabe. It's a good drop if you don't want to worry about rubbing with passengers. I'm used to slamming cars to the ground, but decided to go a different with the GS.
Ride really is what members say, very close to stock. A little noticeable with you hit like dips in the road, but nothing that would concern you.

Here's a couple of pics with stock suspension.








Here are some pics after the install. Subtle but still noticeable.








Wanted to post because only a few members had stock wheels on a tanabe drop and perhaps it would make it easier for future members looking for the same setup.

Next mods: velgen vmb9 and exhaust

Looks great! How much ground clearance do you have after the drop? My next upgrade will be F-sport spoiler and 19" or 20" wheels.

Makes all the difference in the world. Now, just throw some 20s on there and you will be set.

Ground clearance has not been an issue so far. Only time was when I had a heavy set friend sit in the passanger seat I scraped a little bit on the front.
