I am aware that I'm a new member and I will probably get yelled at for not doing a search, but anyway.

I recently purchased 17" O.Z. wheels after 18 years on stock wheels. I am very pleased with how they look, but the car sits a little too high now.

Im looking at Tanabe lowering springs (-.9" rear -.1.2" front)

Would this be too low, or just right?

Thanks

you can never be too low with springs. in fact, you can never be too low, period. it will look much nicer.

Ive heard that alot hahaha. But this is my DD and the road I have to take to go to work is in bad shape. And I'd prefer to drive straight over speed bumps, not diagonally.

This pic doesnt even do it justice. Its tucking half the tire on springs lol. The front driver side rubs pretty bad on stock wheels too.

I run tanabe nf210's and they are great. Ride is close to stock, still feels like a lexus.
handling is improved, and you get rid of some of the wheel gap.
its not slammed or anything but you shouldn't have much wheel clearance issues, unless your running very low offsets.
while you're in there upgrade the shocks to some kyb's or whatever you like, especially in the front where the weight is.
It doesnt take extra labor and better to do it all at once, lowering springs will kill your stock struts pretty quick unless they are new.

I had the NF210's as well paired with tokico HP shocks (the blue ones) and the ride IMO was better than stock. Comfy, and more responsive. And the car hardly ever scraped.
