Default Post Tanabe NF210 Install

Snapped some more pics today. After about 60 miles of driving since the install yesterday, the car has settled a little more, especially noticeable in the front.

Default Post Tanabe Spring install

At the car wash today, had to snap a couple pics showing the new drop. I think Tanabe was right on the money when they say a 5% ride quality difference with these springs. On cornering, acceleration and braking you can tell its dropped..while cruising around, feels stock..amazing!!

You're really trying to convince yourself it doesn't need bigger wheels.

I admit it looks nice but just nice is not enough. If you put lower profile tires on the front and dropped it another 1/2 inch I would let this alone. That front tire is just too thick.
But I'm not in favor dropping it more. The best thing is to go bigger. You don't have to go 22. You are looking for comfort, go to 21. Anyway, I'll leave it alone.

It does look nice. Those wheels are looking better everytime I see them.

Alright, now you're stepping it up. Are those other rims going to be your winter set?
