Default Tanabe gf210 installed

Just installed my springs yesterday and figured I would give a little review. Super happy deff noticeably tighter then stock but not uncomfortable to dd. I didn't do the rear spring mod yet waiting to settle but as of now I have about .5" gap left in the rear and that's with 20" rims in rear and to low profile a tire, with the right tire prob have no gap at all and im waiting to get an allingment but it looks like the camber is fine.
deff glad I didn't go with sportlines I have a pretty steep drive way nothing crazy and if I go straight back in a scrap my cats. (time for exhaust)


Cliff notes
Very happy

I gotta go back and search how to post pics lol still haven't. Unless someone wants to tell me quick here. Rear spring mod is a mod to rubber that the spring slides into. Lots of memebers here do it And from what i have read no probe at all, gets rid of that last little bit of a gap.

Looking at camber problems with that though so.... One pay check ata time lol

No more camber probs than u have with the springs. Springmount mod is a must for GF210's. My advice through same experience:

Wait until springs settle for a week or 2, measure remaining gap in rear after settle and cut mount accordingly. Should end up cutting around 1/2".

THEN go get your initial alignment and you'll be good to go, trust me.

I've been running my Gf210's for about 4-5 months now. I've had no problems with them whatsoever. I'm just now looking to do the rear spring mount mod. I wish I could find a good DIY on taking the spring mount out. I did find one on cutting it though..

Once you have the rear spring out. Just pull it down. It'll come right out

Right, but are the rear springs hard to get out? How many bolts would you say there are? Also, wouldn't I need a spring compressor or what?
