Question Tanabe Springs

I was given Tanabe Super Low Down springs for an FD.
I have 18 inch rims on my car with 235/40 front and 245/40 rear.

The springs lower the car 1.5 inches, can anyone advise if this setup would be ok?


Thanks
Vic

I have those springs and they lower the car about an inch. It's not even close to the 1.5in. That's good though for me, cause I didn't want it that low anyways. I think the exact measurements were 25mm up front and 30mm in the rear. Looks and drive real nice. No rubbing or anything. I'm running stock rims btw. Don't know about your setup though.

How stiff are they compared to the stock springs?

I'll let you know how they feel this week. I should be installing them Tuesday or Wednesday.
