Installed Tanabi NF210 Springs

Had the NF210 Springs installed this week and wanted to share some pictures.
I was looking for a conservative drop and these springs were the right call.
I am happy with the new look!

frybecker,

Could you get a snapshot of the whole side profile. Looks good from what I see. Any noticable change in ride?

Thanks

Cool! what kind of drop are we looking at for front and back?

Also, are camber kits required? Any noticeable difference in ride and on turns?

Wes,

From what I have read, the drop is 1"F and 1.3"R. I also don't think you need camber kits.

I know Adrian was looking at some spacers to raise the rear end a little but he hasn't accomplished is spring install yet...that we know of

hmmmmm I wonder why tanabi did that since the front is much higher than the rear on stock suspension. If only we can reverse the springs it would be perfect! 1.3 in F and 1 in R.

If it was 1 inch all around, then the front would still be higher than the rear.

It might look a little more balanced though. I really don't care for the raked stance.

Yeah I don't like how the rear is that much lower, looks like you either have really fat passengers in the back or something really heavy in the boot.

As mentioned the drop is 1"F and 1.3"R. I knew from reading these forums that one of the observations was that the back looked lower than the front. I do not have a camber kit. Although not perfect, I like this look better than the stock springs. This is an
The ride feels slightly tighter and I do have to be more carefull when going over dips.
Overall this is a nice improvement to the car for only $350.

Hmmm... this is what I was afraid of with these springs.
I don't like that "2 dead fat chicks in the trunk" look.
These need to be a tad higher in the back, and a tad lower in the front.

Yeah... I just don't understand why they would design MORE drop in the rear,
when the OE rear gap is already less than the front.
