Looks great, way better than my 18s on stock springs. If I scrape too much on H&Rs with 20s I might check these out.

 

this coming from a guy that sticks items on his car with suction cups :P

 

its 10+hp with a suction cup

 

Not much difference over the stock springs, just a little stiffer.

 

According to Tanabe's website, the NF210 line is only raise up to 5% over stock springs. In this case, I don't know if that's base or sport.

 

Interesting.. im also mulling over the tanabe vs eibach dilemma, and I found this thread on the IS forums http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237829. Very similar comparo w/ the eibachs (where the tanabes end up with the front appearing a little higher, eibachs appearing more even)..

I think this img was reposted in some other thread.. but in anycase, im leaning more towards the tanabes right now..

 

Honestly i think if you ARE gonna drop your car... atleast go with the elbachs...

 

Just Wait a lil bit... Coilovers are the best option... People who are lowering there cars on stock struts are asking for problems soon.... So just hold off a month or so...

 

I completely agree...not just speed bumps but bad driveways, lower previously harmless curbs, etc....I am going with the Tanabe as well - I like this drop - its also a very stock/OEM wheels/suspension friendly drop...im sure alignment can be put into spec without a camber kit and also tire wear will stay OK......good pics and good call!!!!!!!

 

does this void warranty?

 

yup yupp ^

 

vinny it voids the warrenty on that part for the car. The only way warrenty won't cover a problem with the car is if the part you added caused the problem.

 

lowering a vehicle, or installing most other modifications, does not void any warranties unless they can absolutely prove that the modification caused the issue they are trying to repair.

 

^ I beleive dealers will tell u,they wont look at the suspension coz u did the springs or shocks. one of the dealers even told me, any little noises they will not look at it because i have aftermarket suspension. they will only look at it if i put my stock springs back on.

 

How is your front and rear camber after the install? I was thinking about going tanabe, cos I don't want a huge drop.
