Tanabe GF210's installed. Stock 18's
Took about 3 hours with air tools. I ended up having to get a spring compressor to get the new springs back in. They were easy enough to get out but I don't see how anyone could get them back on without a compressor, theres like a 3 inch gap you have to close to get the nut back on. The rears only took maybe 20 minutes per wheel.

Nice. I've got an '07 as well and have some GF210's sitting here waiting for me to install them. I've just been lazy. Are you planning to do the "spring mount mod" as well to even out the rear?

It was done with the car's weight.
