Ive narrowed my searches for springs to these two above manufactures, and I need to know from you guys which springs are going to give you the smoothest ride? Also, anyone who has the tanabes, how much is the drop on those? Cause I've been reading that the amount of the actual drop is not very noticeable.

i like my eibachs...but go with coilovers if you want it low. and with adjustability. i know i wish i did.

whats the ride like on those eibachs?

Stealth CL

well i dont know because im on tokico illuminas shocks. so ill guess they ride a little stiffer than stock if youre on stock shocks. i couldnt tell you since im always set on 5/5... i like eibachs, i think they drop a little lower than others, and yet have a good ride. just look around there have ben numerous threads about all the types of springs.

my neibor has tanabe on his lexus gs 300 and they ride great. Pretty much like stock. A nice tasteful drop also

The Tanabe NF210's are for max comfort. The drop on the CL though is only 1" in the F and .5" in the R. The Eibach Pro Kit is an awesome spring. It lowers the vehicle just enough, has a slightly firmer ride, but maintains a comfortable ride. In this case it lowers the vehicle 2.1" in the F and 1.7" in the R. So more than likely the Tanabe will be softer b/c it drops the vehicle less but I would go with the Eibach's b/c the CL is a 4X4.

with the tanabe you wont to mess with the camber though and they ride nicer. Get tanabe

Just helpin' out...

Tanabe drop: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=Tanabe

Car looks great IMO but it's not going to be nearly as low as the Eibachs will. In fact, my H&R's sit lower than the Tanabe's. BTW, the "NF" in the part # stands for "normal feel". Hence Excelerate's statement about them being for max comfort. I'd imagine they ride really nice.

Oh yeah, bmehling's right, no camber issues with the NF's. The Pro Kit will need the camber kit more than likely.


EDIT: I almost got those Tanabe's based on that thread alone but I'm glad I didn't. I love my H&R's.

I don't know how you guys are doing it but I know you are both lower than I am and my alignment guy said "...any lower and it would have needed one. It's already neg. 1 deg off..."

How are your tires wearing?

On those eibachs and/or tanabe's do yall have to worry about scrapping when you go over speed bumps or up driveways?

bmehling

with any lowered car you need to be more careful. Just drive slow homie

Will be def. getting the eibach's Ive just herd a lot of positives about em and I think if I get the tanabes ill want it to be lower. thanks for the imput!!!

bmehling

thats fine but the tanbes will give it the softest smoothest ride
