Also dropped on Tanabe coilovers

Following suit with beast808, got the coilovers installed. Ride comfort is a little bit harsher, but it's only noticeable on crappy roads, which pretty much means everywhere in Hawaii. I'm sure someone who hasn't seen or ridden in the car before wouldn't be able to tell if the suspension was modified. I dunno if it's because of the coilovers but I did also notice more rattling from random places in the interior while driving (I know one place for sure is the tweeter, or small speaker to the right of the door handle).

Can't comment much on the handling since I haven't pushed the car all that much yet, but it feels as if the stock RE050's at stock ride height felt just as good. I'm not a big fan of the Hankook V12's in terms of performance.

At the current ride height, I was not able to get the rear camber back into factory specs, though my mechanic got close. So I guess keep in mind that if you want your car dropped this low, you'll be needing camber kits for the front and rear.

If photos don't show up then blame it on the disk quota on Photobucket. Any questions just ask.
