I am thinking of lowering my G coupe with either Eibach SL or Tanabe DF210, I have Tokico D-specs and so I am in need of some feedback on those of you that have these and what do you guys think on which one is or would be better. I personally like the Eibachs b/c I had the prokit before and it was great ride quality, now I heard that Tanabe's is the best for the Gc, so I am in need of your opinions, thanks!

 

I made the switch from the pro-kit to Tokico D-specs and Tanabe's. The ride is a bit rougher but well worth the cosmetic appeal. The tires are barley tucked under the fenders. The car is really low, so if you have crappy roads where you live I don't recommend. They are a few parking lots with speed bumps I know I cant go over w/o scraping. Oh well the price of beauty...................

 

I want a more agressive drop just like you did Looks much better i think. Soon will be willing to pay that price for looks. How does the D-spec perform in conjunction with the Tanabes? Compared with the prokit? Luckily I dont have the crappy roads in my neck of the woods and I don't drive my car that much, so Im not to worried about that, but thats a good point you mentioned Donny.

 

I had the D-Specs installed when I changed the spring, so I dont have a before and after comparison. I just put the finishing touches on the suspension with Hotchkis sways. The car feels even better now. If you want to save your tires you need to invest in F & R Camber Kit and most likely toe bolts. If you are gonna to do it you might as well do it right the first time. Just my .02

 

had NF's on my car .. ride was koo .. but the DF's give a lot better drop and ive heard no complaints with the DFs

 

Thanks for the replies looks like tanabes won this shootout.

 

BOTH springs are going to give you about the same drop. the difference is only ~0.1" front and rear.

eibachs seem to have a tendency to sag over time.

 

does anyone have any pictures of these springs lowered on 06-07 stock G35 Coupe 6spd

 

I will have pictures to post this saturday!
