Anyone with the Tanabe NF210 Mdl#TNF130 springs on their ride?

I have searched and read the forums about the Tanabe NF210 springs and how the tend to give a saggy rear . From what 2GORNOT2G was saying was that Tanabe was selling the NF210 for the V35 sedans to customers with the V36 sedans and thats most likely what was causing the saggy diaper.

I have seen the pictures of 2GORNOT2G's car and he - correct me if
im wrong 2GORNOT2G - but he has the V36 sedan nf210s TNF130 and wow his car is looking real good with them on. But when i go to Tanabes website and look at the little pictures near the V36 sedan the rears are LOW.
Maybe they just used the V35 NF210's for some quick pictures on the V36 sedan before they even had the springs released for the V36 . I just dont want to order them and have to take them off or take of the rears cause they are SAAAAAAAAGin.

Anyone other than 2GORNOT2G that has the new NF210's for the V36 please chime in. This has been THE ONLY thing holding me back from getting these springs.

im in the same spot as you. Deciding either tanabe or eibach. ive seen a few people with tanabe, and i probably will go with tanabe just to test it out in a couple weeks. if i dont like it, then probably switch to eibach.

I have had NF210 springs on my G for about a month.
See for yourself on how the back drop looks compared to other springs.

Thumbs up Just had Tanabe NF210's installed.

Purchased them at Riverside Infiniti last week. Had them installed at Superautobacs Tuesday. They are still settling but it looks a little lower in the back than front. I have stock rims, sort of, on the car. It seems Infiniti put 8.5 inch rims all the way around on my car. 2008 G35S. The stock setup as you know is a staggered 7.5 inch rim on the front and 8.5 on the back. When I went to get new tires, Bridgestones wore out, the tire guys pointed out all 4 of my rims were stamped "rear" on the inside. I called Riverside Infiniti and they offered to replace the fronts but I kept them and put 245/45/18 BFG KDW2's on the front and 255/45/18 BFG KDW2's on the rear. They look great and ride great with no rubbing. The car looks good with the new springs on, pretty much like the other posted pics. I will post my own pics. The ride is like stock, only slightly choppier when running straight. Much better in the corners. The ride is not softer than stock but a little "bouncier" due to being slightly stiffer, but I have noticed this effect with most all other springs as well. I have had Eibach, H&R, Lightspeed, Suspension Techniques, Intrax, and others on various BMW's, Acura's and Toyota's I've owned. These are progressive springs so they are softer than the linear springs out there. If you are looking for a stiff go-kart type setup this is not it. If you want a more everyday driver friendly setup this is hard to beat with the pricing at Riverside Infiniti ($185, thanks Rick). They were $245 + shipping on Ebay. Overall I like them. I wouldn't get anything else unless I was willing to shell out for coil overs, which I am not.

Will you be getting any camber kits? (joseph)

Would u guys say the drop of the Tanabe's is fairly similiar to Eibachs? It looks very similar to me.

But Eibachs are still lower?

How much has cornering improved? I am unhappy with the cornering behaviour of my G. I really wish it was better.

No camber kit

I am not getting a camber kit. The tanabe's align to stock without a camber kit. They are not as low as eibachs. The eibachs do require a camber kit. Cornering is now much flatter.
