havent heard anyone installing the GFs, most pick up the DFs and are very pleased.

I doubt it, but alot of ppl have DF210's have no complaints at all.

I have a set for sale if youre interested

I saw a guy who was selling them and had them (GF210) along with the bilstein shocks and said they rode great, "not too stiff at all" ... I was planning on getting a set but have decided to wait for coilovers ...

so just for clarification, higher spring rate means stiffer spring im assuming? meaning the GFs are just slightly stiffer than the DFs?

Yeh, but the Tein S-Tech is stiffer then the Tanabe GF210.

Tein S-Tech Kg/mm F9.0 R11.0 Drop F1.5" R1.1"

Tanabe DF210 Kg/mm F6.0 R5.6 Drop F1.8 R1.3"
Tanabe GF210 Kg/mm F6.4 R5.5 Drop F1.8 R1.3"

yes, the higher the number(s), the stiffer the coil

tanabe>tein

Yes i know. When i'm gonna order them i will order them at Tein it self.


Only the Tanabe is lower then the Tein. So just cut a ring off the Tein and you have a great result. But is the S-Tech stiif enough for cutting a ring off ??

+1....some people have done it and gotten away with it but something about it just doesn't sit right with me

Yeh i know it's a little Ghetto Style lowering. My quess is that the Tanabe's aren't stiff enough. It's the same with the Tein H-Tech. It's almost have of the numbers as the S-Tech but the Tanabe DF and GF go lower.

jcat_350

which is how they are able to go lower and still maintain the same ride quality as the s-tech
