I'm looking to get some springs and need your guys help. Which springs lower your car the most and hows the ride? I heard the Tanaba GF210 lowers your car 2" all around, is that so?

That's probably true but the drop is uneven IMO. S-Techs FTW

Tanabe is way better than Tein. Tein lowering springs usually sags. I have tanabe DF lowering springs. I have no problem with the tanabe. Megan lowering springs give a nice drop and its cheap and good.

lol my Teins are uneven too, I think it's normal for our cars to be uneven. Coils ftw!

Road Magnet lowers your car the most. 2" even drop. S-Techs lowers your front 1.6" and the rears 1.3".

the OP asked which springs lower his car the most, not what you think he should get. save the "buy coilovers" for another thread. /rant

i think road magnets are lowest, with h&r a close second and tein s-techs third.

I will take piicture of the drop! Its even.

If you are going to get a lowering spring do not get Teins!! Do NOT get them!! It sags a lot and drops uneven. If you dont have too much money just get Megan racing lowering springs. Megan cost only 100 dollars for their springs. The drop is even and drops by 1.25" However, tanabe is the best!! the drop is even and has a good drop, but the problem is that it makes clingy noises on rough road or speed bumps.

i have no "sagging" or "uneven drop" issues w/ my s-techs, even after 16+ months.

also, the my s-techs don't have that "clingy noise on rough roads or speed bumps" that your nf210/df210 has.

there's nothing wrong with teins. i've had H&Rs and they were even to except for the fact the right side front is a tad bit higher due to the weight is heavier on the driver side then the passenger side. i just wanna see the DF's since i didnt know that tanabe had that series that offers a larger drop. COILS FTW

according to tanabe's website, the df210's are made for the is250.

though i'm pretty sure they'll fit the is350.

there are some people in club lexus who have teins. Some of them claim that Teins lowering spring does not give a even drop. One side is higher.

correction.

that "one side is higher" claim is by lexus' design, not by tein's. one side will always be slightly higher than the other - regardless of whatever brand of springs you use.

another member started a lengthy thread regarding this issue, and he eventually "corrected" it by going w/ tein coilovers. (ironic, isn't it?)

stick to the topic and quit bashing a brand just because you "heard" a few things about it.

while i dont have any aftermarket suspension just yet, my gf has tein s-techs on her accord and they have been perfect for going on 5 years now.
