Looks great... handles better but it is a much more harsh ride with my H&Rs and it will cause your car to develop rattles sooner...

Tanabe NF-210:

Conservative drop, no need for camber kit, so far haven't heard of any clearance issues with larger wheels.

I've had them for exactly a week now and they're settling very nicely. The ride doesn't feel any different. It honestly feels a bit smoother. These springs give the smallest drop out of all of the springs, but I can honestly tell the difference it makes. I feel slightly less body roll, and it feels smoother when changing lanes quickly. The drop looks really nice even with the oem 19s.

For most people the G35 H-TECHS provide a nice drop.. tanabe is still way to high IMO

I like how the H-techs sit in the front, but I think the back just settles down too much compared to the front.

Springs will also wear out your struts faster if you do not change them as well. Plus you are set with the height they come. Not adjustable so make sure you get the right ones for the drop you want.

I have the Tanabe NF210's too... Like others said... Its the way to go... Similar drop to the Tein HTechs but made for the G37, not the G35... Feels great at high speeds and comfy at low speeds... Great drop too once they are completely settled... Not too slammed but not stock hieght at all either... Have had many compliments since the day I put them on a week and a half ago... Was gonna get some coil-overs but wanted to wait for what's coming out in the near future, so I got these to hold me off until then... VERY PLEASED!

very nice info this has been lots of help. But I keep hearing that Tanabe doesnt drop it enough. I think h-tech might be the way to go

Hearing on an internet forum and seeing in person are two different things...
