congrats. after doing some research i decided to order the megan axle back. i should have it later on this week. nice and quiet, factory look.

as far as springs, it seemed like the distributor is out of stock on the
GF210's... next shipment like mid-Jan? i went with the DF210's.

lol. install your own springs (get help from your local car buddies)
and use that money you would've spent on labor to buy the
megan.

welcome to fit freak man. is the Tanabe A-back or C-Back??
Also for springs i would also recommend skunk2. Every owner seems to enjoy it on their car and the drop isnt to low. Perfect for DD and the stance is agressive enough.

Good luck! Mini install meets and learning about your car while working on it is one of the most rewarding experiences as a car owner. Have fun!

Did you get a good price. Who did you buy from? It is an Axel Back.

I'd be willing to help, but I've never installed springs....
