Tanabe DF210 front frop: 1.7", rear drop: 1.3"

could anyone share anything about your experience with these springs? pros, cons, ride quality, rubbing issues, camber issues, how much do they sag after they settle, etc, etc.. and please include the tire/wheel specifications with use.

i am thinking of getting these on my stock 19's and just worried about rubbing, sag, and ride quality sort of. mainly just love the look, seeing if it is worth the trouble (if there is any).

 

I had them. They are very low. The car looks awesome but you definately need camber kit front & rear. The ride is good but it was too much of a pain worrying about driveways, speedbumps etc... I also have wheel spacers on.

 

how much do camber kits usually go for? are they simple to install? and are the springs on our cars easy to install?

is the tire wear really that bad with these springs? or can i cruise around w/o the kits without any huge issues for many miles? is there any other irregular suspension wear w/o camber kits? (i know that stock shocks get worn out a bit quicker w/ after market lowering springs)

any info helps

 

I didn't tackle the springs or camber kits. As far as camber kits, the front can be pretty expensive... you can do a search on this site for opinions/options. If you go with Eibach pro springs you might get away with just needing the back. There about a half to three-quarters inch higher than Tanabe's. It doesn't sound like much but it makes a big difference.
I think this low would definately result in rapid tire wear on the inside. I put on Tokicko adjustable shocks too as I thought the stock shocks would be too rough always being compressed.
Sorry, there's no cheap easy way to get a good drop done right.

 

yeah, seems so... i suppose i'm better off saving $1700 for a nice coilover kit... do it right

 

wow thats pretty low. are those the df210's for the 350z or the g35?

 

g35

 

It's a really low drop and you definitely need a camber kit, at least for the rear. Mine is so bad that the back is tucking and is lower than the front. Looks horrible, but once I install the camber kit, it'll be ok. I'm planning on getting the SPC rear kit since I've heard good reviews from this site. The ride is of course rougher than stock, especially at bumps on the freeway. I'm planning to swap it out for full coilover suspension. I suggest you do it right the first time and get full suspension so you don't waste your money with labor and install charges. Be a man...DO the right thing

 

WOW, the DFs are really low. I am really happy with my NF210s. The rear sat down on top of the rear tire nicely but the front didn't at first. I was not too happy with the fender gap for the front but now that the springs have settled nicely, the front is just right to me. Plus I didn't want my front end too low because of my bumper.

The front and rear settled a little more since this pic...

 

that looks good. hmm now i'm debating on getting either the DF210's or the NF210's.

 

It all depends on how low you want to go...

 

I have the DF210's and love the way it looks. Unfortunately it is so low that driveways and speedbumps are definitely a hazard. You just have to be a little bit extra careful. I also got the Eibach rear camber kit to straighten out my rears. You don't really need a front camber kit unless you are over half a degree off from factory specs. A little bit of negative camber is not a bad thing. The ride is quite stiff though. If you don't like a stiff ride, don't get these. I had Tein S Tech springs on my 05 G and there is a huge difference. Those are very soft compared to Tanabe springs. Here are some pix of my ride:

I like the way you car sits. did you need a camber kit for yours? And do you think if I went with the NF210's w/ the stock 19's would there still be gap between the fender and tire after the springs settled?

 

Thank you! It would be better if I had a kit but I don' really need one. But when I put aftermarket wheels on that might change it. With the 19"s the drop would look sickkkkk! No more gap and your tires would sit nicely with the fender when it finishes settling.
