I don't like the stance and it seems about 1/2 inch to high in the front I would like to see some other pics of other people on the same springs and also it is on HP Blue shocks and all were purchased new.

I have close to the same setup. Tokico blues and tanabes.. Love the stance. Not too low. The struts prolly would need to be settled in a little more. Jmo.

Im sorry, but why would you every waste money on springs and struts? Just buy coilovers, there are multiple sets now that are only 100$ or so more then the strut and spring set ups and you get FULL ADJUSTABLE CONTROL. Springs and struts seems like a very foolish invest to me

I disagree. Coilovers are good but it is what the owners are looking for. I would buy springs and struts again. I am happy with my setup but i am not a slammed rider either. Jmo.

Not even slammed. im talking in general. you get WAY more adjustability and control over how your car handles, preforms and rides. you can not and never will beable to get that from struts and springs

JDM is right! Price is around the same if u plan to replace shocks/springs and gives you control of hight and stance....now the op isnt satisfied with his stance and cannot do anytjing about it, unless he cuts the springs

Well I needed new shocks so I just kind of bought them on an impulse and these nf210's are the only lowering spring on the market these days afik?

It rides quite good however and since I don't plan on doing anything other than drag racing (after swap) I had no need for coilovers and to top it off Megan was on a national back order at the time so I just gave in to this set up.

How long ago did you install them? They may take some time to settle. I have supra shocks and struts and I THINK I may be a tad lower than you..so give them a couple days.

Size of wheel is not going to change the amount of wheel gap you have, that is if you properly sized your tires. Your tires will dictated your wheel gap. If you properly sized your tires, overall O/D will be the same whether you have 16's, 17', 18's, 19's or 20's.
