Tanabe NF210 Lowering Springs

[2GoRNot2G]

Hmmm. Judging from the pictures, you wouldn't need much... Maybe 10 mm - 15 mm at the most. That would push them out about 1/2".

If you know the offset on your wheels, then you should be able to figure it out.

Wait aren't there Spring boosters out there can't we get this and use a spring booster to boost the rear back up a bit? Am I even in the right thread anymore hahaha.

[2GoRNot2G]

Hehe... Go back to studying, Clement.

This is actually exactly what Iwas thinking of doing. Adding a 1/2" spring booster to the rear, to help level out the car. Would certainly get the look I am wanting... would make for a 1" drop in the front and about .80" drop in the rear. Just not sure about using boosters. Also, do you know where they sell the boosters, Clement?

[Csquared]

That sounds like what I was thinking, there is a thread somewhere that talked about boosters, I'll look for it later tonight hahaha. But as of right now i have no idea.

[2GoRNot2G]

I think this is the thread you are referring to:

Best place to order IMPUL springs?

Just not sure how much height these boosters would add. I'm seriously considering giving these springs a go and adding boosters if I think the rear is too low. Hmmm. decisions, decisions...

ya I have a spring booster on my front driver side , to pick it up a little for rubbing issues

Can you tell us which kind of booster did you use, and how much lift it gave you? Thanks!

[averageG05]

I believe its a Mr. Gasket 1282 Coil Spring Booster, from what inf g'd up told me , its made of aluminum I believe , it gave about an inch , the driverside of my car was real low compared to the passanger side and it was rubbing on my wheels ,so set of the boosters were put in the coil and it picked it up just enough so it didn't rub anymore, I need to get pics of it, I think they are only for the fronts so it may not help you

Have you guys considered running 350z springs on you sedans? they should drop it about 1" up front and .5" in the rear. Many folks are getting the alignment specs back to stock and springs rates should be the same as the sedan IIRC. Also the cost of these would be much much less than any aftermarket spring and you shouldnt have to worry about sagging in the rear.

this is true , I read a couple threads where they were able to get it back to oem specs

Unfortunately the 350Z springs will only work on the 1st gen sedans. Our V36 sedans have a different front suspension, so the front springs aren't the same. However, we may be able to run 370Z springs instead... That ideal might have some promise.

I see... you guys can install the front and the do the Springmount mod where you cut off 1/2" from the spring mount as another option and keep will be able to keep the rear oem springs.

Ok everyone. I bit the bullet and picked up a set of these springs when I was out at Riverside Infiniti picking up my Tanabe Medalion exhuast today... it didn't hurt that Rick is selling these at a great price right now. I plan on installing them either this weekend or next, and will post a full review then. In the mean time, here are a few pics of the springs to tide you guys over.
