Tanabe makes great stuff..

i still take the Eibach Pros.. they have more drop than the Sportlines.

and its pretty even..

if you look back a few pictures.. you can see my car when i had them on..

right now my car is pretty slamed from the front.. i need to do the rear.. but i kinda dont want to because its a PITA to get around as it is.. lol

Yeah im thinking about getting the Tanabe springs because I can't really go too low. I just wanted to sit right on top of the tire to get rid of the gap.

Yea they're great. I'm not sure about the spring rates though...... Make sure to do your research and check spring rates, progressive/linear, and such.

DF210 are roughly 250 bucks or so..

eibach can be had for about 230... or less

you can always wait and get some COils like the Tein Basics which run for like 900 or so.. or search the marketplace for a set.. i have seen some go for 500 bucks..

if i was you .. i would get Coils.. simply because they have a better feel than springs and when you set the stiffness you can go lower and not worry about things hitting

If you need a spot to powdercoat your rims let me know. I have a spot that I'm going to take mines to. The price is really good and the quality a great too. Its in LA. My friend got his rims done and it came out sick.......

Yea they do good work! They give decent prices (even though they've tried to get pricey on me sometimes) but you'll be satisfied.
