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.

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

Tanabe DF210, Alignment Specs, and ish about the camber bolt part #

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
