Lightbulb Tanabe NF210

These springs are from Japan, which can be good. And there isn't much saying about this springs. Has anyone used these springs with stock shocks? Also, some say it will lower 1" front and 1/2" back, some say 1.3" front and 1" rear. How would these springs compare to Eiback Pro Kit?

Thanks skpark70. How do you like it? Espelir springs are much more popular after I did some search, so I am still confused about which is best - Eibach/Tanabe/Espelir (though I probably get either Tanabe NF210 or Espelir ASD). Still not completely clear on how much Espelir will lower my SC300, using stock shocks, or any side effects of using Espelir on stock shocks.

I had the Espelir and it lowers about 2" after it settles however, it rides too rough but it does handle really good with minimal bodyroll.

I really like the Tanabe springs a lot it rides almost stock and handles pretty well. I've been using tokico shocks for both applications so I don't know any issue with stock shocks. From what I hear the stock shocks will wears out real fast.

My SC is still in the shop but will post some pics next week...
