hey jimmy you can go to sfx in arlington and get springs from them. their close to angel's shop. I bought the tanbe lowering springs from them for about $150.00. The drop is 2.2 front and 2.0 in the back, and they ride really good. I put them on my wife's box as well. P.M if you would like the phone number and adress to SFX.

^^^
Tanabes are awesome, they get the lowest stationary drop (without coilovers etc...) and thats a great price.
I had Tein S-techs that were 1.75" drop back in the day. They were nice, bout the same money. I woulda gotten the Tanabes if I knew about them though.

Congrats and good luck.

Tanabes are very nice from what I have seen. The only springs I have had are the Goldlines and I have not had a problem at all. I love the ride too.

Just an FYI

Been rolling the DF210 and 17" wheels (see my profile)... for a year or about 10-15K miles... and have noticed them starting to settle more. Minor rubbing when at 80% wheel turn with stock plastic wheel well guards still in. You can scrap guard and shouldnt have a problem... but I dont know what mechanically the downside to that might be.

Other than that.... I love the look! I VERY VERY seldom have clearnace problems... no speedbumps probs and such. The only pain is getting ramps or car jack to cooperate... but that would most likely be the same reguardless of drop.

Their easy to install... about 1.5 hr tops!

Well it all depends when they come in, i got desperate so i ordered them last night since i didnt know if SFX had them in stock and they were closed on saturday, but anyways, im hoping that they come in before saturday which if they do, then sat night they would be on the car, now i need to find a time and a place to put the tires on my 18's.

Can anybody recomend a place that i can take my tires to get mounted on my wheels that wont rip me off, i need to get this done this week so that i can put that on this weekend.

im getting excited..

jimmy, I have some Tanabe front springs (1.9) and some goldline rear (2.1) you can use.. It'll look cool with the butt end of your car lower then the front..
hehe..
depending on the weekend, I might be able to help (supervise)
