Tanabe NF210 installed with PICS!!!

Ok so I got them installed this morning by a friend of mine and it took about 2 1/2 hours for the whole job. The ride feels pretty stock which was expected since its what Tanabe claims for their NF210 series. The drop isn't much, not exactly sure how much but Tanabe advertised 1" front and 0.7" back for the TNF130's, but I'll post more pics in a week or so after they settle for more comparisons. Anyways, here's the pics (before and after):

Yeah it isn't much of a drop but my goal was to get rid of a little bit of the fender gap. Maybe there will be a little more of a noticeable difference when they settle, but in person it looks lower than it did stock. I'll take some pics of it from a distance tomorrow since I have to go to work right now.

Hmmm ...
Good job on getting them and the install... Not sure its really worth it to do these...
You now have a look that looks like 2 people are siting in the car.

Can you tell a difference cornering and handling?

Does it have a harsher ride at all? even just a lil?

i think it will settle some more over the next few days and with rims itwill be perfect for what you are going for.

Good job!

Shoot out some better lit side shots, from a distance. Very hard to really see the drop in any of those pics.

Cornering is a little better and I can feel more bumps in the road now lol

I bought it from advancespeedshop.com and picked it up from them for $250 something after tax, however if you can wait on shipping you can get them from autosportstyle.com for about $230 shipped
