Default anybody got tanabe gf210 springs

So I picked up a set of tanabe gf210 springs for my 87 supra for dirt cheap
and i was wondering if anybody else on the board was running them?
likes?
dislikes?

I've read quite a few reviews for them on the Subaru boards. I've never heard one complaint.

TheBarst had them on his evo for a while...
I don't think he liked them very much.
They looked nice, but actually hurt the handling of the evo.
Ride quality ... stiff
The stance.. was sort of a raked look.
At least they were cheap.

maybe he'll chime in..

Two people in my car club have GF210's. My friend with a '97 Eclipse and my friend with an '07 Fit. Both like them, but they are a bit too bouncy for my liking. I like the DF210s like on my girlfriends '05 Tiburon. They slam it and still ride pretty nice.

Haha, they turned my EVO into a snowplow LOL. A good looking snowplow, but fuck understeer.

If the supra does end up looking like a snowplow it'll be an improvement over the 4x4 stance it has right now lol

I think he meant it "Plowed" ... "Understeer badly"

But if you're not "tracking" the car... you probably won't notice the understeer too much.

lol i guess the snowplow thing went over my head lol
The springs are going on my 20 year old mk3 supra that is set up from the factory to ride smooth on the highway not handle lol so i would think there would be more room for improvement vs an evo lol

i had them on my prelude at one point. the stance was fucking terrible. the back had a good drop. the front looked like there was no engine in the car.
