question on lowering springs
i was thinking about getting Tanabe GF210 Spring off of ebay new and sold from the dealer. i was woundering if anyone has used these and how the setup went. is there a DYI for these specific springs? i found one for tienes but not these would they work the same?
also if these are not the best springs what would be?
Thanks Jason.

Is this your first spring install? If it is then I recommend you bringing it to a shop.
The DIY's picture links are dead, spring installs are relatively easy that is if you know how to do it it.
Tools required:
Sockets: 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, 19mm
A Spring Compressor (clamp type)
A breaker bar and some WD-40 or Liquid Wrench for those seized on bolts.
Remember to preload the car.
Make sure you'll get an alignment.

DYI - Do yourself in, or doing yourself in. Not to be confused with DIY..
"Wow, you're really gonna DYI wearing that."
"You're wasted after two drinks, but totally DYI after ten."

That's a lie

I got Tanabe GF 210 on Koni Yellows. Good setup and I like the drop. They could be stiffer, but I really don't think you'll get a really aggressive stiffness without coilovers. I did the DYI
myself, it was my first time doing suspension on the car and it took a while but it is doable.
