I'm going to hold off for a while until I'm sure they've fully settled all that they are going to. Then I'll reevaluate.

If I could do it all over again and mix match springs. I would use htech fronts and tanabe rears.

I agree with that combo....but by then you could have BCs for just a lil bit more and have nice struts that wont wear faster like the OEMs are doing...

The Tanabe's seem so subtle of a drop that OEM struts should only wear maybe like 5% faster. eg like a 80k vs 72k life difference

Well now that they've settled a little bit, I've decided that the drop in the front is alright. It's not perfect, but pretty close. It wouldn't be worth the time and expense of buying another set only to use the fronts and the time and expense of putting them on.

I'm sticking with what I've got for now.

Mine are now one week old and they have already dropped more too. I am really liking the look now and am glad that I will not have to worry about rubbing and additional camber parts..

I will posr final pics of mine after the 3 weeks to show the difference.

I have a set of brand new Tanabe DF's for a 07 and up sedan if you need them.
