Got my springs from Micro Image yesterday and installed them. Here's a before and after. Price was right and shipping was fast. Thanks Garm.

Very nice

WeeYari · 10-01-2010, 05:53 PM

Nice drop. So those are the MI branded (aka Tigertec) springs?

henry33 · 10-01-2010, 06:07 PM

very nice ;)
what about comfort does it change somehow ?

Manley81bass · 10-01-2010, 06:22 PM

They are the Tanabe DF210's. They are a little stiffer than the stock springs, but not to bad. The ride is still pretty good, and the handling feels a lot better to me.

you cut your bump stops?

Manley81bass · 10-01-2010, 06:29 PM

Yeah, I cut a little less than half off of the bump stop.

Nice drop! I'm going to try to get mine dropped probably not until the spring!

Makes the car look alot better!

roadie · 10-08-2010, 11:42 PM

it made a huge difference !! did you pair them w/ some aftermarket struts?

Manley81bass · 10-12-2010, 12:01 AM

No aftermarket struts yet. Maybe sometime in the future.
