Talking Got my Tanabes Springs installed

*Before pics are up, you guys can now see the uber wheel gap is no more*
Also the drop has settled a lot more. I love it!


This 8 belongs to my Friend Mike. Low on Sprint Springs.


My dumb *** lol at Mikes place


Before




After!
The 8 on the left belongs to Jason. He has Tein Bassic.




Wow


This Miata belongs to Mikes friend. Coils and a crazy off set!

Nice crew! Haha, very nice drop.
A lowered 8 is always much sexier.

Which of the Tanabe springs did you go with? NF or GF?

Let's see more pictures once they've settled. Looks good so far.

I believe the drop is the same for both, the only difference is the spring rate.

And yellow...I would guess GF=)

I just ordered a set of NFs for my fds IS250 and they were red..

Well I dont want to slam it. As it sits right now when I back into my driveway I scrape a little in the front. But thats no big deal its just a part of the black splash gard under the front bumper. I plan on getting the burn-out kit soon. If I do I wont make it up the drive way with out leaving my front bumper on the road. I'll have to back up in an angle. So I'm cool with the turn out.

As for a review on the Tanabe GF210, I would say car is low and when your driving in a straight line the ride is about the same as stock just a bit more had but not by much. Int the turns ride is more stiff and tight especially in the tight turns ohhh I love the twistys now more than ever!
All in all its a great buy for the price you cant go wrong and I'm happy with it Any questions feel free to PM me.
Thanks,
-Gil

Thanks!
Look at pic 7. See how low the back sits? Thats what my car looks like, front and back, right now I'll add some more pics by editing my first post when I get home so you guys can see how well it has settled.
Trust me its low. Before when I would wash and wax my car I had a hard time reaching the top. Not any more!
