First Pics: '05 Coupe Lowered w/Tanabe NF210 Springs

So my wonderful girlfriend bought me one of the best birthday presents I've ever gotten... a set of Tanabe NF210 springs for my 2005 G35 Coupe. Thanks to G35Driver member Chad@infinitiSpecialists for a great price on the springs.

The ride really is great considering how much lower the car is now. It's not bouncy or harsh at all... I do feel bumps on the highway more, and my sunglasses rattle in the sunglasses holder due to increased road feel, but I like it better this way. I'm going to drive it for a few days and then get it aligned this weekend... hopefully it will come back close to spec and I won't need to get the SPC Camber Kit.

Sorry for the yellowish parking garage light shots, but it is the morning after the installation and I wanted to get some pics up ASAP. I'll take better day shots this weekend.







A "before" shot for reference:

Lookin' good! I have the exact same springs.... soooo much better!

I had it aligned and was told that I didn't need the SPC camber kit, but I got it anyways, just to be safe... but you'll be alright without the camber kit.

Have fun!

Actually, it was your ride that made me decide on the Tanabe springs! So you've like them so far?

I'm glad to hear that you didn't need the Camber kit... hopefully a shop around here will tell me the same thing after I take it in within a few days.

Yeah, I'm hoping they'll settle the majority of the way over the next few days so I can get it aligned... my rear camber looks pretty bad to my eye, although we have bad camber in stock form anyway. Looks like I'll be needing to replace my Pilot Sports soon.
