Chubby - Pure is right. Even after I changed perch settings after having the H&R springs for a year it still settled a bit more afterwards. I bottom out now if I go over a speed bump too fast (up front). I will not raise it as I like the look.
I measured from the ground to the fender and got 25 & 5/8" all around.
You should do the same bro and we'll know how much extra drop you get with Tanabe's over H&R's. I am guessing .750" more.
Thanks for the pics - looks great bro. Take more.

The kits allows more strut travel by raising the strut mount position. The effect also places the lower arm in a position thinking it is not as low as it really is, so the camber effect is slightly compensated. The other issue with these is it will place the upper control arm in a higher position so super low ride heights you will have to drill out/make clearance for the top spindle mounts to clear on the strut towers. (Or whatever you call that mount for the spindle assembly.) It's not much, maybe 25mm more lowering but suspension travel, that 25mm can mean a lot.

my wheel and tire configuration is different from yours, so i dont think measuring from the ground up will make any difference

DF210s don't drop as low as they claim (e.g. shown on their 'demo car')
i PMed tanabeusa about this already. not feelin it. i'm already thinking about selling the suspension setup

I don't know Chubby - it looks pretty good to me
You should be bottoming out on speed bumps, etc. I feel you bro - I always feel the same also - wish mine was lower but since it is a bit on the rough side now I am happy.
