From experience Tanabe gf210's give the car a nice drop, but the spring rates are a bit too high for stock struts, resulting in a bouncing ride (makes having opened drinks in the car impossible to have). I would suggest upgrading the struts too to match the more aggressive spring rates.

ya i have been looking into the tanabe but i wasn't too sure about that higher spring rate... and i was worried about the longevity of the struts with such a high spring rate!
