i just got the Tanabe GF210 springs installed last week and finally got around to take some pictures.

the AE86 corolla is my friends, and the location is Univ of Hawaii parking structure. you can see diamond head in the background.

Tanabe GF210 springs (made for the 350Z)
336/375 f/r spring rates
1.0/1.2 inches lowered f/r

 

Hows the rides on these springs? and are you having any issues with alignment (ie, camber, toe front and back)?

 

Link isnt workin for me. Congrats on the springs though - I love suspension mods!

 

Link isn't working for me either. Let us know what the ride is like on those springs compared to stock.

Prolix

 

oops sorry, here i fixed it: http://rsx-s.com/g35/index.htm

the ride is a little stiffer than stock, but that's what i was looking for.

 

nice response time... 6 months...

 

I have the same setup. I love the tanabe springs. Wait ill you throw some 19's in there. Fills the gaps up completely.

 

Is the ride firm, or rough with these springs?

 

has the handling gotten tighter? how is the ride? and was there any alignment issues? I am considering these springs....and also how much did it cost to get installed?

 

handling is definitely tighter. the stock ride offered too much roll for me.

there is still a lot of negative camber after doing an alignment. the shop recommended that i buy adjustable camber rods.

regardless of the neg. camber, go buy these springs. it's one of the best spring for the coupe since it offers a tighter ride, higher spring load, and the perfect drop.

installation was about $150 i think.

 

Wow...it's dumped on those GF's! I love the look, but now that you've had the setup for quite awhile now, have you scraped anywhere yet?

 

Thats a nice drop, I might have to go get a pair . . . although I'm curious if there are any issues going over speed bumps? We have a few around here in Michigan . . .

 

Looks good, you cant beat a nicely dropped DG coupe with tints. Thats very tempting.

 

i was scraping speed bumps from the get go. the drop is about 1.8" and with the G's long wheelbase, you'll scrape driveways and speedbumps. i'd hit these things at an angle to minimize the scraping.

 

I was looking into these springs too, but was worried how much more it would drop over the Z. So you're saying it was an extra 0.8" of drop in the front? I'm wondering if you might as well have gone with the DF210 for the G35c and got a much more comfy spring rate?
