Here's a pic for reference:
why do you say tanabe?

We've got a g/z meet here in MN today that I will be attending as will the guy with the Tanabe springs. I'll snap some pictures of his ride so you can see what he means when he says its too low.

ah coo - i saw a few cars dropped on tanabes and you get level drop, but i don't like the fact you have even gaps in the wheel wells.

I measured my gaps and if the Tanabe NF210 claims are accurate, I'll have nearly identical gaps after install without springmount. Once I put them on I'll let everyone know.

As promised here are some pictures of my buddies car lowered on Tanabe's. His name on here is Locksmith. I love his ride. As I said though, he says they are "too low".

Forgot to mention he is rocking 19" volks

Hey Vitty how does he like the ride on those springs? He has an even 1" drop correct?

I've actually got TANABE DF210 springs and they drop the car ALOT, if you want to keep the car riding smoothly and not so bumpy I would not recommend these springs. These springs drop it more than the Tanabe NF's, these springs ride ok but they're bumpy and its no where near as nice as stock... I don't mind them too much because its not that bad to me, but everyone has different opinions.

the drop looks great. Are you on stock struts?

^yes I am still on stock struts, but I'm saving up for a set of coilovers so I can drop it even more.

Thanks Vitty! Thanks Locksmith for your insight. I knew there was something diff. with your car and the pic the OP put in the beginning.

DFs are sorta like running Z S-techs and NFs are like Z H-techs, least that's how it appears visually. The spring rates on the NFs are quite a bit softer than the H-Techs though.
