About to pull the trigger

After alotta searchin and lookin around I'm about to pull the trigger and get my springs. Also, after many suggestions to swap out the stock lug nuts I picked up a set of black ones (Muteki SR35, black, closed end). Here's what I'm lookin at for springs:

Race Roots: Tanabe GF210

I originally wanted RS*R's but can't find them anywhere so my second choice was the tanabe's. I don't plan on tracking the car but I wanted a little stiffer spring along with a good drop without having to spring for coilovers (definitely not in the budget). Anyone with them care to comment? I have read good reviews over them on this site.

I have seen many members on here with Tanabe in their sig so I'm sure you'll be able to get some comments on that.

Can you post a picture of your wheels with the black lugnuts? Mine are somehow getting rusty and need to be replaced. I assume you have the OEM wheels?

I'll post pics when I get them in, hopefully within the next week or so.

I do have stock wheels but they are slightly modified, lol. Check out my thread and you will see why I wanted the black lugs

If you really want to pull the trigger, get coilovers instead. Those springs won't lower your car that much, and it may not look like it's lowered (maybe a little). Anyway, just don't cut your springs...he he

I would never dream to and I plan to get coilovers in the future (Tanabe Sustec 5's with TEAS) but for now a simple pair of springs will have to suffice.
