I think i read every post ever written on this, but i am trying to figure out which to get. tanabe nf210 or the tein h.tech. now out of curiousity does anyone know is the nf210 TNF074 is the same for the 99-01 02-03 and the cl. they all have the same part #, but the site has 3 different ride hieghts for them. maybe is a wieght thing, i dunno. can someone help me? also does anyone favor one more then the other?

thanks

also if the tanabe is made for both the cl/tl the same, is it better to go for tein since it "might" be designed specifically for one car? or vice versa

quite helpful thanks

now, can someone actually help me. i do know where the search button is, i have read an awful lot about these springs from searches, but maybe i am not searching the right phrase to answer my fitment question.
any ideas or links would be helpful.
thanks

Here dude I did a Google search and found the manufacturers website for you. They even have an application page that answers your exact question http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/sp...tions.asp?id=2 Your car is an 03 so it takes a TNF074.

Some cars will end up lower than others because they weigh different and may have different spring rates depending on the year. The CL doesnt drop as much because its a couple hundred pounds lighter as are the early TLs

right, i observed that on the first post. about the same part number for 2 car and range of years, also the observation about the diff drops perhaps being the wieght of the car. my questions is: is it really the same for all? ( thank you for trying to clear that one up). now this is an observation from what you said. and this is the reason i asked this question to begin with. i guessed that it was probably the wieght that would change the drop, you confirmed that. now how come on the tein h.tech the drop is more in the rear on the CL with the same springs and has the same part #. seeing how the cl is lighter that didnt make sense. thats what leads me to ask if these are reallly the same springs literally. you can go on teins site too and look for yourself. this is why i am confused. it was not conclusive enough for me.
thanks

Just get the Tanabe springs - I have a perfect even 2 finger gap all around. It will be hard to tell 1/4 of an inch or even 1/2 inch difference. It wont be off by much with either of the springs. dont worry so much

im over thinking it i guess. i guess ill get which ever i get a better deal on. i cant look at the stats and stuff anymore.
thanks
