^ You getting them from RIck @ Riverside Infiniti? If not, you may want to PM him or call him (800-919-8130) before you order them, because he had by far the best pricing on these when I got mine.

I know it is a delayed bump, but I have an 08XS with the NF210 (for 2nd Gen) and the *** sag is very noticeable. I have had them on for almost 4 months, and they are certainly settled - no finger gap at rear, still 2 finger gap up front.

On the plus side, you can get almost factory camber, and in fact, when I took it in for alignment, they needed about a minute to get one front wheel corrected, all the others were still in factory spec.

I'm now debating the Eibach pro kit, some custom coilovers, or just putting it back to stock and devoting all my resoirces to my new '73 240Z

Not another one... That's so odd that some sit perfectly level and others have that saggy a$$ look. I've had mine on for well over 6 months and 6K miles and I can still get almost 2 full fingers in the gap, both front and rear.

it seems like the X models are the ones with the saggy bottom. Kinda worries me. Adrian, you may be right though that they are the wrong springs or poor quality control, i just feel like every post is about the springs installed on an X.

Yeah, I just don't know what's going on with these. I guess if you end up with my Tanabe's on your car, Brian, then we'll know for sure if it's an X issue or not. Incidentally, do you happen to know if the X is any heavier in the rear than the standard RWD G, or is all the extra weight up front?

Yeah it does seem to be the Xs that have this problem. I don't understand why the rear would be heavier for the X, since they have to run the front wheels i thought the front would be heavier. Maybe we have different shocks to compensate for the weight? remember we do ride like an extra inch higher than the S or something.

Front is definitely heavier with the xfr case.
I can't see how the rear is any different.

...shocks don't make any difference, they don't support the car.

IMO this X thing is just an anomaly.

So does it seem like the for the X's that the spacer fixes the saggy rear problem?

I think I want to get these springs, but would like an even drop all around. If the spacer like in the link fixes it on all X's, then I'm good with it.

Very interested in the Tenabes for my 09 Journey Sedan. If anyone has before & after pics of the springs installed on a Journey I'd really appreciate it. I know the Sport Sedan springs are a bit stiffer than the journeys so I assume the Journey will drop a bit more than the Sport but haven't found any threads that confirm this. I really like the OPs drop, perfect look and just dropped enough to keep from having to add camber kits (at least I assume that's the case). I really don't want the a$$ to sag so anyone out there w/ these springs on a journey I'd really like to see the end results. Thanks a bunch for any help w/ this

Theres a couple pics of my wife's car in the thread below with the Tanabes installed. I would go with Eibachs for a more even drop. Front is a little nose high on NFs.

That pic looks like the perfect drop for my situation, we've got a really steep ramp up our driveway and think any lower and there would probably be issues.
So did the Tenabes require camber kits to keep the alignment in spec??

My camber was still off. I want to say my rears were -2 and -1 degrees in the front.

Did you end up getting a camber kit or did you just deal w/ the tire wear? Oh, and did it ride pretty close to stock? That should be it for my hundred questions.
Thanks for your help

Just curious, what do you guys think about putting just the front tanabe springs on an X. All I am looking for is to lower the front about an inch. Would this drop the front more or less than an inch?
