you got THAT low off of NF210s? I have 20s as well and that looks a LOT lower than 1" front and .6" rear.. I went out and measured .6" from the bottom of my fender, and it's barely to the top of my rear tire.. How did you get it lower than .6? Because I'm SURE that's more than that..

You sure you don't have the DFs?

your tires are gonna to die extremely quickly with that kind of drop. you def need camber kits. i have 350z h-techs and many people consider that borderline for needing camber, with the tanables you NEED them.

I got my NF210s installed last week and got an alignment yesterday.. LOVE the ride.. Check my progression thread to see pics.. After alignment it was determined I didn't need a camber kit..

PICS? were they the 350z or G35 NF210's? How's the ride quality? How low of a drop did it give you?

lmao... progression thread link in my sig mayne.. It advertised .6" in the rear, and 1" in the front.. But rear looks like more as you can see it dropped nicely in the pics.

They were the G35 NF210 springs. Ride quality is as advertised.. Feels like stock.. got my alignment, that took care of the rough ride I was feeling due to my toe being off.. I feel like I'm gliding again (rolling on 20")

Here's some shots not in the progression thread that might help visualize the drop better as well.. All I've done for suspension is the Tenabe NF210s.. Non Sport suspension.

How wide are the rims, especially the rear? I want to drop my 05 coupe, and these Tanabes sound like a good deal. I just don't want to have to roll the rear fenders. I'm on 19x9 front, 19x10.5 rear. Would I need to do anything?

I'm on 20" rims, and the rear is 20x10 the front is 20x8.5..

If you drop your car, I'd say roll your fenders regardless, that small price is NOTHING compared to the price of tires if your fender gets hold of your sidewalls.. TRUST ME.. roll your fenders.

If you like the look of them tipped in at the top and don't mind buying new rubber every season then by all means enjoy the springs and the drop with all that negative camber

Otherwise you're gonna need to make friends with a rim shop so you can get your tires rotated FREQUENTLY

What size tires are you running! How far off spec is you camber when you got it checked? Thanks Josh

I know for a fact that the NF210 just lowers the car.. and keeps the same ride quality. That's why it's Normal Feeling...
