205/45/16s x 7 with no rubbing so far. I even hit a big dip at freeway speed and still nothing, but haven't had a full load or a lot of people in the back yet. The springs are prototypes for tanabe (1.9" and 1.5" drop i think) and i am not sure when they will be released, but the ride is kinda smooth with the standard small and bumpy ride for a lowered car. Handles great though and almost no body roll unless it is a huge fast turn with tires squealing.

I think its about settled and it stands under 2 finger gaps per side or about 1.5" gap I would believe.

Looks good! I was expecting it to be lowered like the one from Tanabe thread but still looks good...

jits14 · #51 (**permalink**) 09-01-2006, 01:59 PM

yeah I have those springs they tested on that car. I think cause its rockin the 14s with stock offset it will look lower.

Sweet...:d Do You Hace Any Camber Problem? Did You Have To Get An Alignment? Thanks

You should always get an alignment when installing springs/struts.

All,

I recently installed the Tanabe DF210's on the car and had my alignment done today. I would just like to say that the part number for the OEM camber bolt is a bunch of BS as i purchased two of these bolts and they don't adjust camber at all (they have no hump) I should have looked at them closer but whatever...

Part # 90188-SCC-A00 is NOT a camber bolt, it is just the regular bolt for the strut.

Anyways, on to the springs and alignment.

Below is a profile shot of the car to give you guys another picture of how low they are

I got the alignment today at Westend Alignment in Gardena, CA. Darin is one of the best in SoCal and does everything using hand tools. A majority of the import/racing scene go specifically to him and he is ALWAYS booked about 2 weeks out.

Specs (No camber bolts, no adjustments in the rear)

Front Driver: -1 Camber +3.25 Castor
Front Passenger: -1 Camber +3.75 Castor
0 Toe in the front
Rear Driver: -1.6 Camber
Rear Passenger -1.8 Camber
5/32 Toe-in

I believe before he adjusted it the front had -.5 camber or something like that so he was able to squeeze some more in the front. Of course with a proper camber bolt in the front, -2 degrees is possible. The rear on the other hand will require shims to get any camber/toe adjustments (crosses fingers for a company to make them)
