Default New pictures BEFORE and AFTER of Tanabe NF210 Springs

Just installed my springs, only been 2 days I do not think it has settled yet. Here are some pictures. Beware they are phone pictures, so it's pretty crap.

because once your shocks go, you'll be thinking, hey maybe i should tokico d spec shocks. but then you price it out and they cost $500.00 and you think wow i paid almost $200 for springs and now im about to shell out another $500 for shocks, i might as well have gotten stance or bc coilovers for $1000.00. you really need spacers or new wheels now.

Thanks for the comments. I just needed for it to be lowered right away. I might upgrade shocks or full coils in the futures, still undecided. As far as what's next I think I'm getting the lip next then wheels in 5 years (cause that's how long it'll take for me to save up for them).

It looks a lot better with the springs. I have to agree with the others. I got S.Tech's and Tokico D-specs and for another $300, I could've gotten some Stance or BC coilovers. I feel guilty that I didn't do it right the 1st time.

Thanks, it's really tough to tell from the pictures but it's a really big differences, it's a half finger gap at the moment all around, I do not think it's even settled yet.

Consider spacers next. Wheels are expensive, but the spacers will make it look a little nicer for not too much more money.

The drop looks good.

Any updated pics? I think I might just purchase a set of these springs to hold me until 2010 for the 2nd year 370z.
