First Pics: '05 Coupe Lowered w/Tanabe NF210 Springs
So my wonderful girlfriend bought me one of the best birthday presents I've ever gotten... a set of Tanabe NF210 springs for my 2005 G35 Coupe. Thanks to G35Driver member Chad@infinitiSpecialists for a great price on the springs.
The ride really is great considering how much lower the car is now. It's not bouncy or harsh at all... I do feel bumps on the highway more, and my sunglasses rattle in the sunglasses holder due to increased road feel, but I like it better this way. I'm going to drive it for a few days and then get it aligned this weekend... hopefully it will come back close to spec and I won't need to get the SPC Camber Kit.
Sorry for the yellowish parking garage light shots, but it is the morning after the installation and I wanted to get some pics up ASAP. I'll take better day shots this weekend.
A "before" shot for reference:

Lookin' good! I have the exact same springs.... soooo much better!
I had it aligned and was told that I didn't need the SPC camber kit, but I got it anyways, just to be safe... but you'll be alright without the camber kit.
Have fun!

I'm glad to hear that you didn't need the Camber kit... hopefully a shop around here will tell me the same thing after I take it in within a few days.
