Pics of the Tanabe NF210's

Just wanted to post this so that all you guys can see what the drop looks like on the stock 19" rims... I know theres been talk about it not being enough of a drop for some, but I honestly love the way my car sits now... Handles a little better too (not coil-over status, but definitely better than stock)...
Taken at the Stillen Show:




Taken after a wash:


Compared to Eibach Pro-Kit Drop: (On B L U E S L A T E's Sedan w/ 20's)
Eibach:

Tanabe:


Hope this helps all the potential buyers and speculators. Like I said, it might not be enough for some, but for me it was perfect Oh yeah, Amplified Motorsports FTW (Bought & Installed)

I've had them on for about a week and a half... So in about 4 days they should be totally settled...

The side shot is the best one to tell a difference, but can you retake the pic with your wheel straight? it's difficult to tell the difference when you turn the wheel.

+1

plus from these pictures alone, it definately looks like a drop, I don't know who said you can't tell a difference with Tanabe's?

Back looks perfect but the front does look higher than the rear which I am not a big fan of.

It took a lot longer than 2 weeks for my springs to settle.
I know I have a Lexus but NF210's should behave the same on any car. I have them on both my Lexus cars and it took about 8 months for them to fully settle.

what's funny is that's about the same drop my car has after getting it back from Tanabe tuesday.... it was very noticable to me, i think people are just extreme with the H&R look.
