Default White F-Sport w/ Matte Graphite Vossen CV7 and Tanabe NF210

Finally finished and really happy with the outcome. Thanks to Paul at Need4Speed and Jeff Tsai for helping with so much with the wheels and springs. Both of these guys are awesome. I am having no rubbing issues whatsoever and I am shocked at how good the ride is on the Tanabe springs. It feels like stock and I wasn't expecting that - it might be 5% rougher than stock, but it's damn close and I'm not even sure if there is a difference.

Front Wheels: Vossen CV7 Matte Graphite 9" +32 Offset
Back Wheels: Vossen CV7 Matte Graphite 10.5" +45 Offset

Front Tires: Continental Extreme Contact DWS 245/35/20
Back Tires: Continental Extreme Contact DWS 275/30/20

Lowering Springs: Tanabe NF210


Wheels Put on Yesterday Before Spring Install:







Finished product:

I agree. That's absolutely perfect. I wish I had gone with the NF210's instead of the F-sports because I actually wanted closer to stock spring rate. The F-sports were a bit too firm for my taste and the drop was minimal.

That drop and wheel setup looks good for a daily driver with minimal headache to drive.
I'm still on the fence on the Tanabe springs vs RSR Down springs. The RSR Super Down springs might be too low which I'm trying to avoid. My 2IS was a headache and chore to drive even though it was on coilovers but it looked so good I refused to raise it up .

If somebody can chime in on the order from lowest to highest drop springs. The Tanabe NF210, RSR Down and Super Down springs, Swift, etc. Thanks in advance. I've searched but a lot of peoples' GS's look different even on same spring setup .

Didn't know the F-Sport springs were available or even released?

Sorry, should have specified. I had F-sports on my 3G and they were very firm.
