It rides really nice, only time you feel the difference is when you hit some ruff terrain. Other than that love the ride. Here are some pics with the rims that I installed last week. I like the look but I think I am going to sell these wheels and get a set of Vossens!

Wow looks really nice. I'm on tanabe springs and kinda wish they were a bit lower - especially in the front.

Same here. When I consider that the stock strut looses almost another .5" of travel on Super Downs , this is what concerns me. Not really any suspension travel left at that point damn near riding on bump stops. I think I would go bags or coils before slamming super downs on stock struts. I could be wrong but just me thinking. Curious to see how long the stock struts last and if the ride gets worse as the strut continues to be almost fully compressed over time

You have to admit the Tanabes do ride like stock though lol

How bad is your rear camber? Will be lowering mine on super downs as well, but wondering if it's worthwhile to invest in a rear camber kit or not.

If you look on the 4gs suspension sub forum you will see my thread on my review of these springs and I posted my alignment sheet after install and you will see how negative the camber is, honestly it's not that bad

It really isn't bad. I saw your post mrkoo. Of course I am used to having slammed cars. But since I have to drive people around now, I don't want to be rubbing when I throw the 20s on. Car looks great though!

They rub with 5 people in the car constantly, two people seems to be the max, I think if I went one size smaller on the width of the rear tire I'd be fine
