Spring help

Hey Guys I need some help on some springs... I currently have the Tanbe nf210 springs and they provide a 1".7".. I had the H&R'S and they were tooo low.. I'm looking for a drop between 1.2" and 1.4" all around.... The tanabe's just don't look good to me anymore and the gap is really starting to annoy me... So any help and suggestions would be great thanks a lot in advance....

I like my Tein H-Techs... No regrets here.

The pics people are posting of the Eibach Pro's look good too.

Im swapping out my tanabes as well. Im waiting for the g37 h-techs and comparing them with eibachs. H-techs are supposed to be a little lower than eibachs.

also, the amount of time and money u wasted on springs u could of almsot bought coils. you really should think your mods through more. labor n 3 sets of springs has to be like 350-500. alignment each time is what 80? 3 sets of springs like 250 each? that is KW right there

well I spent $280 on the h&r's the first time then returned them and got a full refund then bought my tanabe's for $240 then I paid $100 for an alignment and that's it.. I install the springs myself.. Kw's are $2,000...So I have hardly spend any money on this so for you to say a waste is not true.

imho, i didn't like the htechs. I had them and i think the rear was way lower than the front. it didn't look even. i switched to KW coils though and i'm happy now. however, i heard the eibach looks really good.

It was good. When i got home i had to trim some of the edges to make it look like perfect. But other than that, everything turned out great. Now i need my valence to complete it.
