Are you happy with choosing Tanabe springs

Just like the title says. I'm changing out the current springs on my car which are the H&R springs. These springs drop the car too much. I was looking for something mild when I ordered the H&R springs cause they advertise 1.2"/1" and it should be 2"/1.6" before it settles. So for those who have these springs let me know what you think of them? As far as handling increase, ride, and how well you car aligned up after they settled. If anyone has installed these on a sport could you please post some pics. Thanks a lot for your help guys.

Well good news. I will be picking up a set of my Tanabe springs this week. Can't wait to get them installed and get rid of the H&R springs. Thanks a lot to DIESELDOUG22 for all your help. I really appreciate it buddy.

Yeah well go luck going with eibach. Everytime I call that place I get a different answer. This time they told me the front springs are done and the rears are still in the final stages of testing. He said they would be realeased no sooner than the end of may and will be for sale in June. Come on they shouldn't take this long there just coil springs. I called TANABE and was really impressed with there answers to all my questions and they seem to have great quality control. So I will be running Tanabe springs on my car. I should get them tomorrow I can't wait. Then I will get my new wheels and tires next wheel hopefully. YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
