Eibach Pro Kit or Tanabe NF210???

I'm still on the fence for this...I've been researching both springs, and it looks like Eibach has a significant lower drop than the Tanabe. The whole reason for the drop is strictly for appearance(minimizing the front fender gap). I really don't wanna drop it so low that I have to drive like a high schooler or constantly scrapping my beautiful front bumper hitting the parking lot bricks.

Looking for some testimonials from those who have or had either Eibach or Tanabe on their G...thanks!

I just installed Tein s tech cause I wanted the look and the plush ride. So far I'm happy but G's are low stock and doing a 1-1/2" drop you got to keep your eyes open for the dips and holes.
Dont know how to attach a photo to show you my ride, but its in my G-garage.

Good luck

tanabe and eibach are almost the same set !
but the tanabe are cheaper in price and performance quality is good
the eibach is a little more in price and performance quality is great
either way you wont lose

If you're main goal is to minimize that front fender gap and you're choosing between Eibach or Tanabe nf210, get the Eibachs. With the tanabe's your rear will look like its sitting lower than front. Eibachs will be perfectly fine for you.

Ive had both springs on the front, and eibach's on the rear.

Depending on how far your rear springs are settled, just adding the tanabe nf210's to the front might give you a dead even drop like usrsld did.

Take a tape measure. Park your car on a dead level surface. Then measure from the floor to the peak of your rear wheel well. Whats the measurement? If its around 27.25 inches, then the tanabe fronts will be dead even with your rear fender gaps.

This. I've never seen anybody get Eibach and not be happy with it(unless they want it lower...which isn't your issue), whereas sometimes people don't like the stance of Tanabe after it is installed.

Hate to highjack a couple month old thread but I need a spring that will keep the ride quality but still be able to drop the front a bit and then provide enough support to handle autocross racing. Which one brand does everybody suggest?

Go with swift. I got the prototypes installed last week, and they look and feel great. They should be commercially available soon. Check out the pics on my profile.

Swift?????? Never heard of them. How do they compare to the name brand ones that everybody has heard or have I been hiding under a rock and never heard of swift LOL

edit: I found them on the website, but where did you buy your springs as their website doesn't show a part number.

I have the Eibachs in the front and rear and I'm riding on 20's and I love it. It looks sexy and the ride is still real smooth. The springs are stiff enough that my large rims don't rub, even if I hit a bump at high speeds. The clearance gets a bit annoying with some curbs and speed bumps, but all in all it is worth it. Here is a few pics of what my G looks like with the Eibach kit.
