I love my Tanabe GF 210s. Lowered the car nicely...it is low, but easily clear all normal stuff on the road. Quick elevation changes (i.e. steep driveways to a roadway) are not good so if that is a problem, you should be ready to adjust something.

The install is actually really fun too. I had a blast and feel like I understand our suspension (and suspension as a whole) much better.

1 jack
2 jack stands
2 spring compressors (Autozone=free rental)
Socket Set
Wrench Set (metric of course)

The DIY here is awesome...
DIY for many things

Have fun...I'll try to remember to post pictures this weekend to give you a looksee

If you want to eliminate wheel gap get Sprint springs. They drop roughly 2". I have the MS bumper and sides and let me tell it's low, so be prepared to scrape.
