Tanabe NF210s installed *PICS* Updated with Settled PICS
I put on Tanabe NF210 lowering springs. They drop the front to 1.1" and the rear to 1.7".
I would have to say that the install was cake. It took 1 hour to take out all 4 strut assemblies
including all the interior panels and all. We were not racing the clock or doing shotty work, it was just an easy
car to work on. I paid to have Merlins $90 to put the new coils on the stock struts. I paid a bit more than I wanted too but
there weren't a whole lot of options. Once we got everything back, it literally took 35mins to get everything back in, locktited (blue)
torqued, panels in, and wheels on and torqued. Again we were not racing the clock. It also helped that there was two of us...Thanks Donovan!! Well here are some pics:

Here are some whole car shots, They didn't turn out the best because of the sun but you get the idea

I still need to get an alignment but it is not off by too much. Overall, the ride has improved. Rear rides a little stiff but I can get used to that. Also I am on my stock struts for now, but the control is much better on the car. The roll has been dramatically reduced and when I shift the car hardly rocks back anymore. They ride real smooth on the highway and bumps are nothing with the new coils. I definitely give 2 thumbs up!!
