^with his spacer hes dropped .75" as opposed to 1" with the tanabes in the front. i guess its not enough to throw the camber out of spec at .75" so it helped me to see that at 1" its possible that its still within spec too. which kinda answered my concern bc i was expecting it to be out of spec

Yeah I've seen some dropped with those springs putting the front right at 1.2-1.4 degree of camber. I wanted to stay above that to avoid as much tire wear as possible. Plus I didn't want that low cause I wanted even wheel gap with rear cutting of spring retainer. So with my front of .75" drop instead of 1" I'm right at .9 degree of camber.
I can make some extra plates once I talk to my machinist buddy again. Need to locate some material also. I will ask a few shops around town to see if I can get the material. I've noticed absolutely zero noise out of the spacers and gasket material.

Black center caps and lugs really set it off.
Where did you get those lug nuts?

Are the Tanabe springs stiffer than the OEM?
Please say yes, this would help put the handling right where i want it as well....

Looks great. That's exactly how i want my G to sit. I want to do this mod to my sedan. A 1" inch drop in the front would put my wheel gaps perfectly even front to back.

I cant tell the difference in the ride one bit...but if your tracking the car and you have the sports suspension this is actually a reduction in the stiffness.

Hmm, i have the non S and don't know what the stiffness is rated at either. It would be good to know to compare....

The Tanabe springs in the front are 7.6 while the sport springs in the front are actually 8.5. I do not know what the spring rates are for the non S is...just in case you have it....it would be interesting to know...
