Tanabe GF210= Greatness
first off these are the best lowering springs the ride is low but every bump does not drive you crazy. i am very happy with them i am glad i got these over the tein s techs.
Well the springs have saged a little almost a 2'' drop front and rear just for refference here is the before shot:
And here are the after i think i need to readjust the rear camber?

wow nice, im assuming thats a 1.5 drop? i was thinking about getting these for my gr2s'. and now that ive seen how much drop that is i might just get em, lol.
how the ride quality once they were seated and broken in? that rear camber looks pretty stock to me. i could be wrong, and cant really adjust them without the camber kit.

well in really depends on you wheel offset for the front as long as you have a +25 or higher you will be good
speaking of camber plates has any one put camber plates on a spring and shock combo if so any pics.
thanks

One question that I can't find the answer is what exactly are the stock spring rates. I'm looking at Stance suspension and Tanabe springs and the difference is huge. And I know coilovers versus just a spring is no comparison but i'm looking at moving my new project onto the road as soon as possible and would like to do it right the first time. So my question for an acurate comparison is stock spring rates vs. tanabe's 3.0/2.5 kg/mm.

i have Tanabe springs with Gabriel shocks in the back, and cusco coilover with camber plates up front. its a pretty nice combination to me... its a daily driver though, so im not to worried about tack perfomace handling...
the reason i did it though is cause my rims up front are 9.5" wide and the tires would rub regular springs. with coilovers, the spring hugs the "shock" just like it does in the rear suspension. so if your one of the many people whos tires rub the springs, coilover up front are a good way to go...
