One more pic. It has settled a half inch more since this pic was taken in the front.

I have the NF's with stock shocks. The ride is about a 1/3 rougher (but remember the stock is extra floaty) so it's just fine for me. Here are the NF's with stock shocks and my 20's:

Oh there's no doubt, the DF's are the springs I'm getting. I don't see the need to get them cut neither.

That is a perfect drop. Nice car man.

That's what I thought. Works well for the money.

I think I got them from Kuruma Motoring off Amazon though. Not because of the best pricing but because I had a bunch of gift certificates on Amazon from surveys. The closest side shot I have is the artistic photo I did in the original thread I posted a few weeks ago.

Mines on s-techs and gr2's. The ride is great but definitely bumpier. No rub at all even on dips with passengers. I thought the tein/kyb was a more popular combo but it seems like nobody has this set up anymore. I guess cause people are finding cheaper priced coilovers now. Let me know if you want a shot of the stock 16"s on there. Overall happy with it.
