In terms of improved handling, how do they compare to your NF210s? Much improved, a little improved?

Thanks for the review BB. Now time for me to save up for these and go to amp'd.

Much improved over the NF210 springs IMO. For me personally, the amount of improvement was well worth more than the cost difference.

I seriously doubt anyone coming from stock suspension or just lowering springs will be disappointed at all.

So how much lower did you go compared to when you had the springs?

I think my current height is about 1/2 lower in front and about 1/4" lower in the back than my springs were but not sure if that is exact.

At first I had the back slammed so low I couldn't get my finger between the fender and tire. That was from settling and not intentional. Not very practical so I raised it up today.

Ahh, do you think I'll see the same amount of improvement in handling coming from Eibachs?

If I don't rub now, I shouldn't rub with Tanabe right? It'd suck to get coils, lower it and start rubbing :/

If you rub is up to you. If it is too low and rub, just raise it up a lil bit. Coilovers should not change the whole geometry of your suspension that much.

Agreed. You can set the height exactly the same as where your Eibach springs are now if they are the perfect height for you. If you rub, raise it as much or as little as you like.

I just wanted to lower the stance a tiny bit more than my drop that the springs gave me, maybe another 1/4" rear and 1/2" front. I got it too low in the rear at first (it settled quite a bit) but just took off the rear wheels and raised it back up. It's very easy to adjust.

Now, if you slam it as low as dome guys have done it WILL completely change your suspension geometry. It'll cause stress on the stock suspension compononts and you won't be able to get it back within alignment spec without a front and rear kit. I only have the rear kit. I haven't taken it to get aligned yet.

Great review BB. I am now looking for Coilovers too, and I was not even considering the Tanabes before I saw this review.
You said it was easy to adjust the height, and that is important with me.

Great info here!!! Im guessing No Rattleing? Id say you wouldve said something if there were problems....

This is great ! It make me feel good to see a reasonable priced set of coils that are problem free! Now to drop your car, these are a no brainer now for any member that wants rid of the wheel gap...

Good job my Bsquared brotha...

Thanks for the great review. Can you clarify this? It doesn't come with upper mounts s which means use OEM mounts?

Black Betty, quite a bit of time has elapsed since you posted this initial review, are you still as pleased as you sounded on page one?? Any new information or observations you would like to share? Thanks!

For me, no rattles and no problems. Adjusting them after they settled was a breeze.
