I need your opinion.

I just got some Tanabe GF210s and i'm pretty eager to get them on. I know I should wait until I have some shocks to go with them (instead of my blown out stocks) but I'm broke and I know it'll be a long time until that happens.

Should I just bite the bullet and wait? Or can I install them (without worrying about any major problems)?

Personnaly I would wait. Do it right. Just having springs isnt going to wildly improve/change your ride characteristics with crapass shocks...
Crapass shocks = less meat on the pavement, more often... = Loss of Traction... = Accident... = More damned money to fix your ride....

I would suggest you go down and at least get OEM replacement shocks if your shocks are worn out. Going to wind up making more trouble for yourself...

Oh yeah, being broke.. I heard that before

Rx7 = Moneypit... (But dammit it's a fun moneypit... )

Wait. Theres no point doing it twice.
I would have bought new dampers and used the stock springs. If your dampers are blown, your bushings and strut mounts may need replacing too.

I know how hard it is to wait, but like everything else in life (almost) it always yields the best results. like AeRx7Dallas said, at least buy oem shocks as a replacement.

i installed my gf210 on my old shocks..i just wanted to see how the car sat. i did drive it a bit but not hard. i ordered then installed then my apexi adjustables less than a week later and it sits and rides amazing..just wait its easier and safer doing it once

yeah that is tempting... but you'd be doing the work over twice... how long are you actually going to wait to get the struts? a year? a few months...

I know waiting sucks. That why went my shocks went out i didnt have money, but luckly my dad let me use his credit card so i was able to buy it and then pay it slowly. I got tanabe springs with Tokico blues It tooke me about 1 hours to install it myself. Soo scary when all four shocks went out. I went over a train track and the body started swaying.
