Thumbs up Tanabe DF210 & Under Brace installed on my IS

First of all I would like to thank Reggie and the rest of the staffs from Tanabe USA for using my car as a test vehicle for there new DF210 Springs and they also gave me the Under Brace that they are also testing out

After seeing my car after being lowered it looks A lot better then before, the gaps between the tire and fender is very small now I just hope that I won’t scratch my bumper when I go those dips and the curbs in the parking lots .

During the drive from Tanabe USA back home was different, the steering wheel seems more tight not as loose as the stock springs but one thing I was really surprised was the ride wasn't really rough as I thought, when I was going over some uneven surface It didn't feel as bumpy as the stock Springs I really like how the new springs rides

For those that wants the looks and the comfort I totally recommended these Springs and the Under Brace

coilovers will probably come out later.

Did Tanabe do an allignment on your car? If so, do you have the results of the specs before and after the springs were installed?
