Hey your car looks excellent. I wish they still offered the white/graphite combo for 05. Because I surely would have ordered it. Your car is just one of the examples in superb taste. Great job.

Thanks I will keep them in mind if the gap is too severe when I do wheel swap. Tanabe Df-210 right? Also did you change struts?

The Tanabe DF-210's for the sedan won't force you to change the oem sport shocks since they are NOT stiffer springs then the oem ones they replace. However, given that the even oem sport shocks aren't as stiff as they could be, you'll still experience weight transfer issues which the softer springs won't help, which some will pickup on right away and other's just won't care about.

Oem G35 sport springs are 314lbs/342lbs

Tanabe DF210 Springs G35 SEDAN
Stiffness in lbs 286/280
Softer then oem by F-9% R-18%
Transfers +9 roll stiffness to rear

Thank you Gsedan35 for the input. I also value a comfy ride too like Ryansg35. If I dont like the unlowered look then Tanabes are at the top of the list.
