I am hoping to see if we can get even more than 10 people. What is the price difference between the DF210s for 300s and 400/430s, and GF210s for 300s? While it might be difficult to gauge at this point, can you give us a rough price for each of those three if we get ten people?

Thanks Derrick

I am also interested in the Tanabe springs, depending on cost and all.

I don't think they offer GFs for the 430/400...only the DFs.


Derrick- I would prefer the GF210s for my 300.

I am going to repost this chart from page 2, but these are the three options, but do not include the NFs as I think their drop is very, very minimal.

Model..........................Spring Rate....................Lowering Front/Rear

DF210 for 300....................6.0 / 5.6........................1.8" / 1.3"

GF210 for 300(no GS4).........6.4 / 5.5.......................1.8" / 1.3"

DF210 for 400/430...............7.3 / 5.6........................2.0" / 1.5"


1. MPLexus301 - GF210 for GS 300
2. jcat_GS3 - GF210 for GS 300
3.JoelGS - DF210 for GS 430
4.
5.
6.
7.

Lets keep this list going with your username, spring of choice, and model.

Thanks guys.

Ok so now the question is, would GF's for the GS3 work on a GS4, if not then I'll take the DF for the 430 if it's a really good price ...

I think you might want to stick with the DF210s for the 430. The 300 has a softer spring rate because it has less power and weighs slightly less. 300 springs on the heavier and faster 430 might end up having a transverse affect from what you are expecting. For example, the rear end might sag during heavy acceleration.

Stiffer springs for more power and weight.

I noticed the NF210 are not listed. Does the GB include the NF210s?

SPECS:
GS300 98-05 5.6/4.7 1.5"/1.0"

I did not add the NFs to the list as I didn't anticipate their being much demand since the drop is less significant than the other springs. If that is the set that you are interested in, then add your name to the list and maybe Derrick can hook it up for everyone.


Quick Reply: GB on Tanabe Springs-Near done-please post what spring u want if you are interested
