Tanabe DF-210 Springs

I have a 2005 Sport Suspension Coupe.

I want to pick these up and the drop for the front is 1.7" and the rear is 1.'3"
Do I need cambers??

Also, I have 20's, will I rub?? Need to get my fender rolled??

Thanks..

more than likely youll need camber kits.
as far as rubbing/fender roll, it all depends on offset/width/and tire size

well the person you are talking to doesnt know what they are talking about.

camber kit for sure.

roll fenders. completely depends on what wheels you have and the offsets

Not a fan of any Tanabe lowering spring for the G or Z, either too soft for the application or as in ever spring they make, a better choice exists that has a simular drop with much more sensicle spring rates. Just because you can and it came out of their R&D process doesn't mean a well informed buyer can't figure out you shouldn't. Remember, it remains unheard of for anyone to install suspension parts and complain, they will only post the good, think about it.

Tanabe DF210 G35 COUPE progressive springs 1.7”/1.3”
Spring rates in LBS 308 /353
Beware, a 1.7" drop in the front on a spring that is softer then oem

2005 oem coupe with sport suspension (if delivered on 19" wheels)
Spring rates 314/427

Your better off with better springs with spring rates that can actually keep you off the bump stops. Not everyone is comfortable with running the rear that much softer then oem.

If you cannot afford quality coilovers that actually deliver the ride quality your after or your driving style. In that situation I would select a set of the following spring choices instead, drop would be simular on a G coupe

H&R sport progressive springs 350Z 1.3”/1” drop (coupe drop should be 1.8"/1.5")
Spring rates in LBS 370/400 (peak rates only, softer initial rates are unknown)

Eibach Pro-Kit 350Z progressive springs 1”/1” (coupe drop should be 1.5"/1.5")
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421

Tein S-tech 350z (fronts are progressive, rears are linear) .7”/.6” (coupe drop should be 1.2"/1.1"
Spring rates in LBS 386/402 (estimated front intial rate is 327lbs)
