Tanabe NF or GF

Has anyone tried installing NF or GF series from Tanabe on their S2?

I ordered a set of NF but I am not 100% if it fits.

I havn't tried yet.

EDIT: So finally took it to the shop and got the springs installed.

Perfect drop IMO, dropped enough to close down the wheel gap.

Now it feels more bumpy, is this normal?

On the Racing Beat website their front and rear springs fit 04 to 09. I think the springs will fit.

Ok, I am taking my car to the shop in 3 days so get the springs installed.

What can I suggest the mechanic to do to not mess up the chamber too much.

I am not sure when I will take the car in for an alignment after that. (I haven't found a good place yet to do the alignment)

Anything special that I should tell him?

Thanks

It's generally more bumpy if you have lowering springs on your stock shocks. You'll also lower their life expectancy as well.

I thought because the R3 has aftermarket Bilstein shocks, so it might be different from "stock" shocks.

Hm... so its 2 weeks sinces I got it installed.

My rear right side is lower than the left... I suspect a more tilt wheel on the lower side.

My car is in the dealership to get an alignment done.

I hope the adjustment from the camber / title will fix this lower side.

Looks like the alignment did help to even the height.

The car feels awesome in turning and conering.

I can only say I love it...

+1 to race root for helping me to decide which spring to use.
