Just installed Tanabe Springs
Hello everyone.
After much research on what springs I wanted to go with, I decided to go with the Tanabe NF210’s on my ‘05 coupe. They claim to provide a 1-inch drop for both front and rear, but a spring rate only 5% above stock. I wanted a subtle drop with still being able to retain a ride as close to stock. The springs I was considering were the 350z Tein H-Tech's series or the Eibach prokit, but after riding in my friend’s G who had installed the NF210’s, I was sold.
I do have to say that the ride quality feel’s very close to stock, but I still have a few weeks for the springs to settle. I am still rolling on the OEM 18”, but soon will upgrade to a set 19” within the year. I have almost no fender gap, so it looks very clean.
I went to F1 Motorsports in North Hollywood, and thanks to Chris, I was totally satisfied with my buying experience. They were totally professional and gave me an excellent price.
I will post some pics once the springs have settled.

I just got my tanabe nf's put on saturday....i agree rides just like stock...cornering a tad bit better...nice drop...so far 1 finger gap in the back and a tight 2 finger gap in the front.....waiting to settle a bit so i can do an alignment.
After talking to Chirs at F1, no shock replacement was needed, at least for now.
As far as I can tell, the ride is very smooth very close to stock.
I am planning on getting my alignment about 3 weeks from now, after the springs have settled a bit. I will get a print out and post a scanned image so we can all see the how close the numbers are to stock. I am assuming that it won't get there, but I am hoping to be able to get it as close as I can.

i installed the same setup a few weeks ago, doesnt seem to need an alignment at all. car still goes in a perfectly straight line. the springs were on george's car before (phxblue) and i picked them up off him. i love the ride, and when its sitting parked, it looks much sleeker over the stock height
