tanabe nf210

I searched around and it seems like these springs will offer close to stock ride quality while mildly lowering the car. Can anyone comment on how these drop in comparison to tein h tech? Can someone post some pics? How many finger gaps does it make with a car with a 235/40/18 tire size? Their website says 1 in in the front and .5 in the rear but from some of the pics ive seen it seems to drop lower.

If that is the real drop those are a complete waste of money since the CL has a good 3-4 inches to come down until a drop is even noticeable. I don't know though, I went with coil overs. If you are going to go springs, you may as well replace everything or save your money until you can. Just my

I looked at another site and it says 1.5 in in the front and 1 in the back the TL which uses the same spring (same model number) is supposed to get a 1.5 in drop front and back.

just to give an update had these put in about a week ago and in terms of a drop its about a 2 finger drop all aound. The rear is a bit higher but overall I like it. The ride is a bit stiffer then stock I would say but overall everything is pretty nice.

yea i have tokico blue they ride fairly well a bit stiffer but still really nice. I have 18s and I think you said you were running stock wheels. So if thats the case it should ride even better for you.
