Default What a difference!!! Seibon & Tanabe...

Check this out! I just installed my Seibon carbon fiber front lip and my Tanabe GF210's. So what do you think? I really like the drop that you get with these springs. (after consulting with a lot of people on this forum of course!) I think I am pretty much done with the exterior of my car, I'm just going for the CLEAN look. Any feedback would be appreciated...

BIG THANKS TO THE GUYS AT AUTOFASHION IN SAN DIEGO!

^Agree, you still need sides and rear, but lip+springs makes a big difference

yeah seriously, I need to plug those holes up. I already had an alignment done so I don't really have to worry about that. everyone was telling me that when I was asking everyone on here about what springs to get.

I will get some hi-res pictures up here tonight or tomorrow, actually when I get some time to do it I will. Got to keep up on my school you know?!

thanks for all the feedback guys! more please...

Not sure its a veilside replica. The veilside lip doesnt come out as much as that one, especially under the front reflectors.

I rarely see anyone with this lip, not sure why that is, but it looks sick! Nice choice!

yeah... thats why its vs-style. its not really a replica but if it were to be anywhere close to a replica it would be the vielside. trust me, I asked that same question!

rich150001: yeah I like them, pretty darn stiff for just springs! I felt a lot of improvement with the body roll, of course and you really feel more of the road with these springs. all and all, I really like these springs!

sokudo9l6: The fittment honestly, wasn't all that great. took minor modifications to get it to fit. you know, shave here shave there... that kind of deal. It really helps out though when you work in a body shop! I lucked out on that one...
