these are for the GD models if you want the ones for the GE model you need model number SKB74-S1B00JPY they retail around 250 but when i called my local shop, they can get it for 150 but wouldn't get to me until late may so i went with df210 for 70 bucks more!!

Thanks Guys..
Do you have pics of your ride fitted with the DF210?
Which brand of lowering springs has the lowest drop?
Thanks.

i don't have any pictures yet of my car because of the weather. its suppose to get better on thursday (hopefully) and ill post pics then. i got lowered last thursday.

when i got my springs, people and tanabe were stating that i would recieve a 1.3 in drop in the front and 1.8 in the back. IDK what i did but it looks like 2 in all around. i think i cut my bump stops wrong but it looks wicked SICK. looking around on the threads, it seems like tanabe df210 gives you the lowest drop. so far im pleased with them. after all, they are the first set of springs ive worked with. also you do fell a great deal in stiff-ness. i now feel EVERY bump on the road but im used to it cuz i use to go off roading alot in my old pick up n the shocks n springs were worn out for at least a year. IDK how it survived that long

Just type DF210 in the search box. Theres a thread a couple pages long with lots of pictures of these springs.

Or just type springs and search in the GE forum. This has all been covered before and theres lots of pictures out there.
