Tanabe Springs available!
NF210 and DF210 are available for the LS430 from '01-'06.
The NF210 coil spring features a tasteful drop, and produces the best overall ride quality and comfort for a performance lowering spring. The lowered stance of the NF210 gives the car an elegant pose, while the spring rates, which are only slightly raised (up to 5% over stock) retain factory ride quality settings.
The DF210 coil spring offers a large drop, while retaining superb ride quality characteristics. The spring rate is raised 10-15% to compensate for the shortened amount of suspension travel, without over stiffening the spring rate and affecting ride quality and shock lifespan.

Alrighty
Thanks for the announcement.
Anyone here using either of these springs yet?
How much lower could one expect a LS with sport suspension to sit?
I am interested in purchasing one of the two sets, but would love to see some pictures of any LSs dropped by these.

what about the Sustec Pro NF ( http://www.rd-tanabe.com/lineup/sust..._nf/index.html )? Or do I have to figure a way to buy it from Tanabe Japan? Any picture of the LS430 dropped on the Sustec Pro NF? perhaps picture of the car dropped all the way ( F/53mm , R/55mm)? More information will be great since I tried translating the website using those online translating program...(kind of useless). TIA

Topshottaz,
Car looks beautiful. I am getting 04 LS430 this week in silver and wanted to know which NF or DF Tanabe springs did you use and how is the ride, cornering, stability and feel with them on? Also, are u using stock struts? Is your car Ultra or non? I did not find any aftermarket struts for LS430, everyone uses stock struts with Tanabe springs? Is there a lot of you outhere with Tananabe springs? I spoke to Todd in TM Eng. and he told me Tein CS is the way to go for suspention mod, I have them on my GS now, they are great but I wanted to just lower the car a bit and make it handle a bit better without spending a lot of money.

Any LS that can use aftermarket springs is a non ultra,ultra versions use the airride which replaces the springs with a airbag.
