As far as the springs go - What a difference! The ride is a bit stiffer (not that noticeable), but the cornering is drastically improved. IMO, the drop is perfect. I don't really want the car to be that low - just for the wheels to be concentric with the wheel wells. I almost went for the DF210s, but I'm glad I chose NF210s.

Thanks again for all your help, everybody.

Next come the wheels (they should be here next week)...

The first pic is before. The next two are after.

As I said on a previous post, rear shock bolt should be opened ONLY by the BOLT HEAD SIDE. The nut on this bolt is a self locking type - it will came out only with impact tools.

Good advice...I should have done a little more research, I guess. That would have made life a lot easier, and saved about an hour's worth of work.

Sure, and that nut is on several cars a self locking one, good to know . As an anecdote, I remember on my old honda civic the nut wasn't selflocking, it was simply welded on the suspension arm... eventually the wrench did bent and my back almost got broken, but the nut was still on place
