has anybody used Tanabe NF210 Springs and like them? debating on whether or not to buy them.. thank you

pics?

 

okay? haha..

 

posted a similar thread for all kind of springs including the tanabe's.

 

have them...sitting in my room...never put um on yet. lazy and letting my fren use my car to get license, so need to keep it stock for a while. but if i ever get around to it...i'l let you know!

peace out

 

Have them on mine. The drop is ok, but if all you want is to close the gap a little then they're for you. If you want to go lower get the Espelirs. The Tanabe's don't do too much handling wise though. Also, don't waste your money on new springs, try to find a deal on used ones. They're just as good most of the time unless they have rust.

 

what are the specs of your z wheels? rim and tire sizes??


edit: ive been searching the net and found a set of eibach springs for about the same price i found the tanabe both new.. so idk.. found the eibachs for 280

 

18x8 +35 front
18x8.5 +38 rear

Eibachs are about the same drop as the Tanabe's, but I got mine for ~230 shipped like a year and a half ago...

 

Alright then... I heard the eibachs ride better. Is this true?

 

Not sure, but I know that the spring rates on Tanabe's are pretty much like stock, and I think the Eibachs are marginally stiffer. I would imagine they're a pretty similar ride. Maybe someone who's had both can chime in.

 

im going to use tanabe's. Want that bmw fender gap look. Not looking to slam it on the ground.

 

^ exactly what im looking to do.. not slam it but not ride 4x4 status ha and i dont want to loose my good ride.. i do have a lot of body roll with stock springs ha. idk i guess ill go with the eibachs

 

I think you will be happy with either one. Im gonna be rolling on my stock 16's till tax season. They both lower about the same. Plus when you super lower something you start putting alotta wear on susp parts. Eibach and tanabe are that fine line. Look in the vendor section. They are on sale for 230 shipped the tanabes. Eibachs i think are 50 more.

 

i have the Tanabe springs, i like them.. they are stiffer then stock ones.. but i can say this they dont go low enough to my opinion.

 

if your looking to nice factory slam [bmw], the closest you can get is espiler's. i had them before and they had a nice drop, the car became stiffer and aided the body roll alot.

for the drop of the tanabes and eibachs, i rather go with factory mk4 shocks and springs.

just my 2 cents.

 

espiler's like product said for a low drop
