I am completely satisfied with combo. This is coming from an everyday freeway commute person. Here are my observations:

-Body rolls eliminated
-Bottoms out eliminated
-Better cornering
-Wheels feels more planted on the ground
-Very comfortable ride
-Stiffness is only one notch higher (can't really notice much change after replacing springs)
-Feels like riding a 2001 BMW 3-Series but on the softer side.

Tanabe NF210 springs are a very great choice for tasteful drop without losing a comfort ride. Although it is recommended to be used at least with KYBs. And I actually like KYBs w/ NF210 than KYBs w/ stock springs honestly.

The alignment specs were very reasonable. Here are the specs after installing NF210s.

Front:
Caster - Left: 8.45 Right: 8.22 Specs: 7.05 - 8.05
Camber - Left: -0.27 Right: -0.47 Specs: -0.77 - -0.23
Toe - Left: 0.10 Right: 0.11 Specs: -0.02 - 0.18

Rear:
Camber - Left: -1.49 Right: -1.53 Specs: -1.28 - -0.28
Toe - Left: 0.03 Right: 0.07 Specs: -0.04 - 0.16

Thrust Angle - 0.02

Currently the drop on the Left side (Front and Rear) is 3" and Right side (Front and Rear)is 2.5". Before it was 4" for the fronts and 3" for the rears for wheel gap. So it did a nice conservative drop. Just waiting for it to settle and it probably will drop maybe another less than 1/2 inch drop.

Well that concludes my experience with Tanabe NF210 + KYB. I am happy that I did it. And I will post up pictures soon.

good review. I can get the same shock and spring combo for the sc, but the drop is only rated at 1.2" front and .9" rear
