Tanabe springs unballanced look?
Whats up all,
I just had DF210's installed on my GS300. It sits nice and low in the rear but the front is still sitting pretty high. It looks like I have a load of **** in the trunk. I took it to another garage to be sure they were installed properly and they said it looks all good. I started looking into it and Tanabe uses the same kit for the 06 GS430. This sounds messed up to me because that V8 has to weigh atleast 400lbs more that the V6, I'm sure those same springs sit alot lower in the 430. I know these are a popular springs for this car but I havent heard anyone else complaining.... did I just get a bad set or something. Anyone else have this problem?
I appreciate your help.

I remember someone else having this problem a while back when the Tanabe springs first came out for the 3GS. From what I recall, the problem was the installer mixed up the front and rear springs (put the rears on the front and the front springs on the rear).
Might want to check that.

Hmmm you've got me questioning the nf210 I had installed... I shoulda done it myself for piece of mind. Check to make sure the fronts are stiffer than the back, then corner balance and compare heights at each wheel
