your set up is very nice!
do u ever wish to go lower? i've always ended up going after market springs to coilovers in the past due to wanting to go lower to completely lower the finger gap.

Default What part of Florida you live in?

I'm in Miramar (Miami) area. I have the same setup on mine since last year and I'm very happy with the results.

Looks great in white too!

Wow, I'm in West Miramar and I've never seen your car on the road. I would have remembered your car if I had seen it

I was on the fence about which springs to get and your pictures you posted like a month or two ago sold me on the tanabe springs, haha.

Honestly, I can't imagine going any lower than it is now unless you're into the slammed look. These springs look very sporty I think. There is maybe a single finger gap between tire and wheel well. My old wheels were 10.5" in the rear and rubbed pretty often, especially with passengers in the back. Since I switched wheels and I'm now at a 10" rear wheel I haven't gotten any rubbing yet.

Also, with mine being AWD i started like half an inch higher than the RWD models so the drop looks far more drastic than you would probably notice on yours. It would look exactly like mine in the end result.

Looks good. One of my favorite after market sets.

A few simple things can help bring out the details of your wheels... The easiest one is take the picture of the side on the same side with the sun. You could also wait for the sun to go down so it's easier for you and your camera. Or you could force the flash to fire if you have to shoot from that angle (you may need an external flash and other stuff to make the picture more pleasant to the eyes). If you use the iPhone to take pictures, tap on the screen on the spots you want more detail, the phone camera will adjust accordingly. Don't use zoom function on phone camera. Move closer instead.

I'm using a Canon DSLR but it never really picks the wheels up correctly unless I have the focus on them unless I'm doing something wrong.

I got my NF210's from CL vendor, CircuitMS, for a bit cheaper than what it would have cost me from redline360. If anyone is interested in springs, try PM'ing them for a quote. Been shopping with them for a few years and they are quick responders and pleasant to deal with.
