Tanabe NF210 Lowering Springs
#137
I know all of you have been waiting anxiously for an update on my drop.
Well, after about 3 weeks and almost 1K miles, I think my springs have fully settled in. They stayed pretty much the same for the past week, so I don't think much will change now. The Tanabe springs ended up dropping the car pretty evenly all around... final drop figures are right around .90" for all 4 corners (R was actually closer to .85"). I think the drop turned out perferctly and I am VERY happy with the look... I'm still just not so sure I'm happy with the ride just yet. Although the springs seem to be a little less bouncy now than when I first installed them, maybe because they are settled now or maybe I'm just getting used to them, but I'm still not fully pleased with the ride... of course, like most of you, I am probably overly picky when it comes to my car. LOL
Here's are some updated pics that I just took yesterday.

Nope, they aren't the same... the non-X G35S's have a staggered set-up... 18" x 8.5" wheels in the rear and 18" x 7.5" wheels up front.

I haven't driven in a G with the Eibach springs, so I can't compare, but I have driven Travis' (KulG35) G with the new Tein Flex coil-overs on it and it is completely different animal... not only does it handle better then my car, which is expected, but it also rides MUCH better too.

Aftermarket wheels are definitely on the way... just waiting for my tax return and then I just have to decide which wheels to go with.
The springs are actually much better than when I first installed them, but I'm still not fully happy with them. You might want to see if you can find someone in your area that has these springs on their G, so you can ride with them first before making a decision.. Who knows, you may be completely happy with them...
I know that the X stands a bit higher than the S model. so does anyone know if these spings will lower the X more or less compared to the pics from 2gornot2g?
The factory ride height for the X is slightly higher than the standard G, so you would actually get a slighly more of a drop out of these spings than what I got, but you should end up with basically the same front and rear gap as me, so you should end up with basically the same look.
2g - your stance is what i want, your car is hot.

I love the stance too.. I was actually coming out of the grocery store today and walking towards my car in the parking lot and couldn't help but think to myself how much better it looks with the drop an the wheels spacers... what a nice transformation from just a couple of simple mods.
