Tanabe teaser drop -- UPDATED pics of the drop.
I never thought I would drop my Z but the rear gap started getting to me.
Install will be within the next week.
Specs: Tanabe Sustec GF210, 1" drop in the front, 1.2" drop in the rear.

Welcome to the Tanabe club.
found the thread. Yeah I'll probably pass on that, seems like a bit too much work. I don't think I want to get any lower then what the specs are.

Hasn't even been 24 hours so they might settle a little bit lower. I'm getting a rear camber kit installed (read camber is doo-doo right now) and an alignment by the end of the week.
Thanks to Alberto and his friend Jay for doing most of the work. Only thing I was productive for was standing on the rotors in order to get the shocks in and out.
Before
After
Just to point out my Z is on a slope so it's leaning towards the drivers side. Which means the passenger side is sitting higher then it should.
I'll take a few more pics if it dropped a little more.
