Before/After pics with Tanabe GF210 installed on Tokico HP's

I am pleased with them!! The rear has a perfect tire/fender gap. The fronts are only a hair taller and GOOD THING is no rubbing.

As for ride qaulity, not too bad. The roads here in Montana are pretty bad and needless to say my kidneys don't take too bad of a beating with these springs.

All in all, great springs and good ride qaulity given the spring rate.

I also enjoyed my new Nardi and not having to look at my rear wiper anymore.

Most likely I will keep the dash grey but I want to add black seats and make the door panels black carpet and vinyl.

I got them for a great deal back in 06 and they keep growing more and more on me as time goes by.

amazing how much springs can change the looks . Both the springs on my Rx7 and daily driver settled a little after about a year... and seeing your RB exhaust makes me wish I kept mine

yea give them a couple thousand miles and they will settle out and drop your car a little more. they seam to drop the rear a tad bit more than the fronts though which i dislike. but i like mine overall and yep always a clean s4
