Well, after couple of hours installing the springs, can tell you I'm very disappointed with the way it looks. Tanabe claim the drop is 1.4 front and 1.2 rear. Well, mine drop .5 front and 1.5 rear. I triple check to make sure I didn't installed them erroneously, but by the markings on the springs they are installed the right way. Drove the car a while, but I still have the same ugly look. I mean, looks bad *** dropped like that in the rear, but I don't like the front vs rear drop. Will take pictures tomorrow to show you guys, but my plans are leave the front ones and install the factory ones back in the rear, that way I have a little less gap in the front.

Later

Let the springs settle for a few days before passing judgement.
