Anybody with the Tanabe GF210's? I'm looking for a pretty mild drop due to speed bumps at work.

Try some rce yellows or the eibach pro kit that has about a 3/4" drop and 1" drop, respectively

Eibach sportlines, trying to decide if I need coils or not.. Or just buy shocks, if I lower it any more, DD is gonna suffer so much.

Eibach Sportlines
XXR 527 18x8.75
Hankook Evo V12 225/40/18



Ride feels very similar to stock, just stiffer. For the price, I have been loving it.

I like the frs/brz pics I've seen with the Tein S-Tech... as it appears to give a more attractive and slight rake (ie: front slightly lower than the rear).

Yes, the rear sits lower. I have Sportlines and that's definitely one thing I HATE. Looks saggy in the butt.

Not the best pictures, not a clean car, but these are the RS-R Super Down's on my car. Theyre more comfortable than the stock springs. The girlfriend had no complaints.
