Planning to lower on Tanabe NF210 (G37 Coupe)

Hey guys,

I already installed my G37 Wheels VOLK GT30 last Saturday. I know I didn't post any photos. I promise you I'll get them posted by this weekend. I'm a bit busy with my University

Anyways, I just would like to give you the specs of the wheels and tires that I have installed:

Wheels: VOLK GT30 "20inch
Front Wheels: 20x9.5 with +35 offset
Rear Wheels: 20x10.5 with +37 offset

Tires: Yokohama Advan
Front 245/35/20
Rear 265/35/20

Now I looked into Tanabe's NF210 specs of lowering the car, but I would like not to lower the rear a lot cause in the U.A.E we have lots of speed bumps and they aren't small ones they are big. Most of them are annoying too when you pass on them. I don't think it's a good idea to lower them a lot + the tires in the rear are (35) of height.

As I saw for Tanabe NF210:
Front: 1.0 inch (that's OKAY)
Rear: 0.7 inch (hmmm not really happy with it)

Is there anyway I can install something in the rear which will lower it at 0.5 or 0.4 inch?

If anyone have a picture of the car with lowered on the same wheels that would be a great help to see a good example.

Open the attachment to see a photo of the car.

You can install a spring rubber to slightly increase the ride height of the rear if you like.

Nice car, nice home.

No it doesnt I have eibachs, and now I just switched out the rear springs for tanabe because they go lower than eibachs. Everyone will tell you that.

Try installing a couple of these:

Seriously, .5 vs .7? Kinda splitting hairs aren't you? This will very even with how much gas you have in the tank...

As far as your pics go, try the Volk Wheel thread:

I have tanabe fronts, and eibach rears. I was in the same position, I didnt want to lower the car that much, I just mainly wanted to even out the fender gap.

See my thread for pics:

I think this is exactly what you want.
