my thought exactly but I think I like them over the 01+ if they're cleared. it looks more sporty to me for some reason.

dung - thanks for the review. i hope i get the same results you do.
I prefer the cleared tails better, because they go better with my paint color. You won't be disappointed with the ride quality, trust me...I'm very pleased.

That's why I like them over the 01 tails.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Mine is a purplish/bluish color. I don't know about the red, I saw it as well, that got me too.

That's the drop you get with KYB and Tanabe NF210's? What size tires are those? That is the drop I am looking for. Either this setup or stock shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit. I just want a nice drop with as close to stock feel as possible.

Yep that's the drop you get with that combo. My tire size is 235/45 19'; you'll love the ride. The only ride better imo is the stock ride; it's very comfortable without the floaty feeling.
