4X4 soon gone

I just ordered a set of Tananbe NF210's and I was wondering if I should get shocks?

All I can say is F n Sweet! After getting my springs and shocks installed the car handles much better. Getting on and off exit ramps my gutes don't get slammed to one side and I feel more connected to the road and not just floting down it. I will post pics it a week or so after the springs settle. I need to borrow a digital camera


Thanks for all the help.

lol, you must be high...look at the pics, shouldnt be any confuision..LOL, sry not trying to be a dick..

Nice drop, If you ask me I would do the shocks later when you need them, if you can do the install yourself. Others say its a better idea to do shocks and springs at same time (which is good advice if you can afford everything at once) but for those who cant, I would just wait till your shocks get bad.

Do these springs give the rake look? (front lower than rear)

Why not got the whole car in two pics? Doesn't look too dropped, gotta see the whole thing.

No before pics, but here is a lousy after pic. A little rake look.

The comfort is the same, I can't even tell and it handles better.

So that's on stock struts? How much of a drop do those Tein's give?

I'm throwing my Pro Kit on this Saturday, on stock struts, I hope it won't be too harsh!

No it's on aftermarket shocks....Tokico HP's with Tanabe NF210's springs.


Shocks - 298 shipped
Springs - 198 Shipped
