One last question: Do you have any camber kit installed, and how is your tire wear?

Exactly how low will these tanabe's allow u to go down(F&R)? And are they pillow top mount, rubber mount, or aluminum plate? I'm trying to achieve the flush,poke, and stretch look and not sacrifice the ride quality. Thanks in advance for my list of questions.

Tanabe says they will drop the sedan -1/8 ~ -2 3/4in Front -1/4 ~ -2 3/8in Rear

These shocks reuse the OEM upper shock mounts.

There are pics of these coils on Tanabe's site installed and dropped. It's really low.

With the 1" drop front and rear are you able to get the camber adjustments back to stock with the factory suspension adjustments, because not being able to rotate the tires with staggered wheels sizes is a big concern. I'm wondering with a minimal drop if you are able to get the camber back to factory settings just using the factory adjustments?

I'm actually dropped a little bit more than 1". At this current height, there are some adjustments (camber I think) that I cannot adjust to be within factory specs using the stock camber links.
I read a long time ago that the max drop that you can do without having to buy aftermarket camber links is 0.8", which you can do with the Tanabe's no problem.
