Installed Tanabe NF210's & Increased Tire Size

Just had the NF210 Springs installed yesterday. I hear you gotta wait 2 weeks for them to settle. Also replaced tires with larger size 275/35/19 Rear and 255/40/19 Front. Went with Vredestein Ultra Sessanta's. I understand they are used by the exotics in Europe. They've received decent reviews and pricing wasn't bad. They're supposed to be quieter than the Bridgestones and provide better rim protection.

Looks good. Larger tires help fill in the gaps. Nice job.

Yeah the drop in the rear is noticeable but the front is very subtle. But again, I hear the springs will settle more in a couple of weeks so we'll see. I didn't want a huge drop.

Yup, like Amp said. Figure on approx. 1 hour per spring, to remove the old and install the new, times the shop's hourly rate.
