Definitly post some pics please.. I had the same feelings for the H&R's, Eibach seems like they're just messing around.. I spoke to the girl yesterday also.. She said the rear were delayed, so yeah it looks like mid may.. BS!! I wanna see what the tanabe's look like at the wheelwell, the pics above are from the website and you really can't tell.. The back looks decent, the front still has some wheelwell, worst case senerio, take a turn out of the front where the callapsed springs are, they're dead springs there anyway.. should lose another quarter inch, making them equivalent to the eibachs..

All I know is waiting definitly blows..

Try to post them pics when you get a chance..

I will definitely post pics before with the H&R and then with the TANABE'S. The car featured on TANABE'S webiste is black so it's hard to tell the drop. But it's very subtle which is what i'm looking for. So hopefully this weekend I will be able to swap them out. The TANABE springs comes packaged a lot better than the H&R. The TANABE springs are individually wrapped in plastic protects the powdercoat since there RED.

Well finally I got my TANABE springs put on today. They are freaking awesome. They give the drop that the H&R's were supposed to give. They ride extremely smooth. You can however feel the difference in handling big time. My car is able to align up to factory specs. Which with the H&R's my camber was extremely negative -2.3 degrees front and rear. I can also get in my driveway now which is a plus!!!!!!!!! Anybody thinking of getting the TANABE springs, you should jump on these they are definitely worth the money. I'm sending my H&R springs back and getting a full refund. Since I only had driven 100 miles with my car so slammed I have no uneven tire wear which is great. GO TANABE!!!!!

Will post pics tomorrow after it's washed up. Was hoping to get my splitter on but didn't have a chance to get to it. Should be picking up my wheels this week. Great to hear you ordered the TANABE'S you won't regret it. The ride is very very nice.

Installed my tanabe's yesterday.. Definitly 10x better ride them the H&R's, I think the drop is low too.. I was getting scared because I liked the drop of the H&R's but was worried about blowin the shocks out/scraping the oil pan/ or having the tire's hit the fenders when I installed the 20's.. Anyway the tanabe def made a difference to the stock wheelwell gap, basically took it away without tucking the tire in there.. Glad i went with these, jus couldn't wait for the eibachs.. They kept pushing the date of release back, last time I spoke with them, they had mentioned end of May.. Way to long for my taste..
