^with his spacer hes dropped .75" as opposed to 1" with the tanabes in the front. i guess its not enough to throw the camber out of spec at .75" so it helped me to see that at 1" its possible that its still within spec too. which kinda answered my concern bc i was expecting it to be out of spec
Yeah I've seen some dropped with those springs putting the front right at 1.2-1.4 degree of camber. I wanted to stay above that to avoid as much tire wear as possible. Plus I didn't want that low cause I wanted even wheel gap with rear cutting of spring retainer. So with my front of .75" drop instead of 1" I'm right at .9 degree of camber.
I can make some extra plates once I talk to my machinist buddy again. Need to locate some material also. I will ask a few shops around town to see if I can get the material. I've noticed absolutely zero noise out of the spacers and gasket material.
PITA to install yourself with the tight coils at the top but its done....with 15mm spacers all the way around. Drives and feels just like stock ...front sits just over 27 and rear is approximately 27.5...LOVE IT!

That sits perfectly! Do you have the spare rear Tanabe's? If so, I may be looking to buy them, my S-Techs are too low in the back but perfect in the front.

Looks great. That's exactly how i want my G to sit. I want to do this mod to my sedan. A 1" inch drop in the front would put my wheel gaps perfectly even front to back.
Are the Tanabe springs stiffer than the OEM?
Please say yes, this would help put the handling right where i want it as well....

If your sedan is not the Sport version then probably yes, a little stiffer. But on the sport coupes it feels basically the same.

The Tanabe springs in the front are 7.6 while the sport springs in the front are actually 8.5. I do not know what the spring rates are for the non S is...just in case you have it....it would be interesting to know...
I cant tell the difference in the ride one bit...but if your tracking the car and you have the sports suspension this is actually a reduction in the stiffness.

Any idea what the spring rates are for the rear Sports, Tanabe and S-Techs?
