Installed Tanabe GF210s!!

It only took me and my friend 2 1/2 hours to install the springs... We thought we were going to have to leave the car in the shop over nite before we started, but as we went along we relized it was easy to do...

The ride is very stiff... more harsh than stock and less body roll then before.. I love them...

the directions said cut them 2 inches... someone else didn't even cut theirs... so I cut an inch off the front and back...

Haven't had any problems with them...

I was the one with these springs that did not cut the bump stops. That's why I asked. I wonder how much of a difference it is with them cut. Your car does look lower than mine. Here is mine with it lowered on GF210's.

Cutting bump stops does not lower your car more. It will allow more suspension travel to avoid bottom out; however, it also increse the chances of blowing the shocks.
I did cut half of my bumpstop with H&R springs though.

I didn't think they lowered the car any more just thought I would make sure. I am using the same size tires as stock. I think it could just be the pictures. After I looked at other members rides I have realized my ride sits the same. Thanks

I have the Tanabe GF210 springs as well, and I love them, but I have had them on for about 3 months now and they have definately settled and lowered just a little bit more... FYI

Sorry about off topic, but did you cut your bump stops?
