Coupe Aftermarket Springs

Has anyone used after market springs for a g35 coupe on their sedan? any problems with sagging or raking? Im almost dead set on using tanabe df210s for a coupe on my sedan, unless someone talks me out of it. I want to lower the car, but keep the comfort so im thinking this is the way to go. The car will never see a track or road course, its mainly for commuting and family outings.

According to the tanabe website and Gsedan35, the df210s for sedans will lower 1.7F and 1.5R with a lower than stock spring rate. This doesnt sound like its low enough for me. The df210s for coupes lower 1.7F and 1.3R with a higher, but still pretty close to stock spring rate, but will be a little lower if used on a sedan. Anyone know how much lower the car will be than the normal 1.7/1.3 if i used them on my sedan?

Anyone have pictures of sedans with df210s? I've searched but none of the posted pictures work.

I know most of you will recommend coilovers, but i dislike coilovers because I know I will go too low. I have no will power when the possibility of going lower is there. it will most likely end up being this low:


which i would love, but i really cant slam it too much because my wife also drives it.


This question is mainly directed to Gsedan35, but if anyone else has experience, please chime in. Thanks all.

who's sedan is that? the drop is a little too low but it looks very nice. it might not be too much of a difference but i would like at least enough room to put a finger between the tire and the fender. it would be great if you would post pics once you make your decision and put them on. good luck.

i photoshopped my car

if i had it my way, thats how low it would be, but the wife would wreck shop on the undercarriage so i have to be a little more modest with the drop. one finger gap is really what im looking for.

IMO, Tein S-Tech springs for the sedan have a perfect looking drop, but still has enough clearance for all the speedbumps I've encountered so far, and also doesn't have a harsh ride...
