Are you happy with choosing Tanabe springs
I'm driving a Lexus these days but it has Tanabe springs and I do have an opinion about them.
I chose the Tanabe NF210 because of the advertized 1 inch drop and smooth ride. That's all I wanted. 1 inch with 20's would give me the ride I wanted.
A year later and the springs have dropped the car more than an inch. At first it was perfect for me. Now it's too low. I have rubbing during normal driving over uneven roads.
I didn't have that big of a settling issue with the Teins on the G35.
I was thinking of buying another set to get the height I initially got when new. Maybe just change out the one where it's too low.

LOL i'm just playing with ya, did you check the shocks?i'll be waiting for more options of springs or even coilovers
And Mako, yeah I didn't think that changing the wheels would have changed the chamber, but low and behold when both wheels were put on the you could see heavy effects of negative chamber. Believe me or don't, it happened. If we are still talking about this next week I can take some pics and show the effects. But believe me I wouldn't of that that would have happened either.
Nah, i was thinkin, if the diameter of the wheels and tires were bigger then the stocks, then the camber could be altered, just because the mounting of the alignment arms (that clamp the wheel) would be set out further (the slides of the arms), meaning the alignment would be more accurate..
I think it could have been different, but i really cant see it being a off by much.. It would be cool to see.. If you get a chance..

Unfortunately I can't. My car is still being worked on at Technosquare. Tadashi is having a hard time cracking the software. He was saying that when he flashed the ECU it was effecting other aspects of the car, like the windows of all things. I called him today and he said that he finally figured it out and now he can start working on the programming. So he said maybe by the beginning of next week I can have it back.
Thats crazy that it is that hard to crack. Imagine what it is going to be like on the GT-R
I asked him if he knew about the reset and he said yes and it was still screwing up. He said they found the problem and now things can resume as planned. So hopefully I can have the car back Wed. or so.
