Default Pic Request: Tanabe GF210 Springs

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had a pic of the Tanabe GF210 lowering springs on their AP1? I would like one with stock wheels, but if it has rims its okay. Im just looking for a very small drop, b/c the roads where I live suck and I probably couldnt get up my driveway with anything lower an a 1" drop. So im just curious how much less wheel gap is there with just the 0.8" drop. All the other threads I see about these have broken picture links. Also if you have them, how do you like them? I would really appreciate it!

From the pics it looks pretty good. I want my car lower b/c it looks like a 4x4 stock. But I need to be able to pull into my crappy steep driveway. Also where I live there are massive speed bumps that you cant avoid. Sucks!

you can be low and make it over speedbumps and driveways. my prelude is slammed and my old driveway was a cliff, and i still made it up. all about the angle!

I hear u. We have Speedbumps on the Interstates here so it cant be that bad. I would get a Set Of Espilars or coilovers so u could adjust them accordingly.

Haha yeah my bro had an eclipse gs-t on 18's slammed and the only way he could get up my driveway was if he backed in, and the exhaust still occasionally scraped. Right now I dont have the money for coilovers, and I havent ever tracked the car. I probably wont for a long while. Ill have to do a little more research on some springs!

Tanabe's were my first set of springs but like most you will eventually want to go lower.

Dang I wish I had AP2 V1s on my AP1 like you guys on here haha! Well thats my main problem right now, I want to go a little lower but still be easy for a daily over huge speed bumps and my steep driveway without much of a problem. I just want a LITTLE less tire gap and ill be happy for the time being! But so far the Tanabe's dont look to bad for why i want them!

I have a set of espelirs replacing my eibach springs(inch drop) that will be for sale soon. A 1 inch drop is your best bet for looks and daily driveability.
