Tannabe Springs

I just set up an appointment in Dallas at Rotary performance for Tannabe springs to be installed on my car. I was wondering if anyone had these springs installed and if so, what they thought of them. They offer a pretty large drop and i was worried abt possible ground clearance issues (1.4 in front, 1.2 in back) and also does 4 hours of shop time seem like a bit much to have them installed? Thanks!

the tanabes are awesome i already had the GF210 and racing beat front and rear sways installed and it is like driving a new car. i did use the updated endlinks and make sure the car is realigned, the springs drop the car enough to cause the camber to change 2 degrees each side which you will have just barely enough adjustment to put it back to factory alignment specs. also make sure you get the spring wrap around the first coil on each spring or you will get some spring chatter. i also have front and rear greddy strut braces coming in tomorrow to finish of the package. you will enjoy and the install should not take anymore than 2hrs for an experienced technician.

ps. i need to take new pics since the install but ive been to busy preparing for the revolution this weekend

Don't worry about clearance. The fronts will only lower about an inch, maybe 1.2??? I think it was about an inch on all 4 corners.
