Default SLAMMED! Installed my Tanabe sustec GF210 springs today

Wow! What an easy install. I did not think it would be so easy, total time was under 2 hours.

Took the car out for a ride and I am thrilled! The ride is so much nicer and the handling is sick! It feels like it is riding on a rail. I am ordering sway bays today. Here are a few pics, sorry about the quality my camera it is a piece of S. And can anyone tell me how much more the springs will settle over time and how much? Thanks, peace.

So you just installed your springs and it sits like that? How do you like your Tanabe's? Are you planning to get an alignment? If so, let me know how close you can get it back to specs because im in between Tanabe's and S Techs. Your car is gonna be SLAMMED when it settles, cuz it sits low as it is now. Looks good though!

How have the rims held up? I know they are a good value, but had ADRs on a previous car, worst experience ever. I bent every wheel from the smallest potholes.
