These are Tanabe NF210's. on a 2015 RWD Fsport. My biggest concern was the ride quality and I'm very happy to report that is NOT an issue. I'm sure it's slightly more firm but I honestly can't tell the difference. I've only got about 400 miles on the car, so I may just not be able to tell the difference due to my lack of seat time. Sport+ mode feels exactly the same to me as it did prior to the springs.
The rear seems just a tad too low for me but I have a feeling that after my Vossens 20x9 20x10.5 go on, they will fill out the rear fender and it should look "just right". I'm being told that the Vossens won't arrive until sometime in March, so for now I just have to deal with it
Before and After (1.2" overall drop) Installed yesterday, so I expect a touch more settling on the fronts.
nice good stuff.
mine arrive this week but I probably cant install till next week.
Good to hear about ride quality
What part of florida you at?

I remember you and I were having the same ride quality concerns. I'm telling you, I can NOT tell any difference. I assume that when the new wheels/tires go on, I'll be able to notice it more since I'll have 35F/30R sidewalls. I'm a little concerned about the amount of drop on the rear. It seems VERY low considering I'll be running a 20x10.5.
Looks good. The rear looks way lower than the front can you take a better side angle of the car in good light? I am still deciding RSR downs or Tanabe's but I heard the Tanabe's are soft

I'll try to get better pics today for you The installer told me he measured before and after and said the front was 1.1" and the rear was 1.2" drop. Hopefully running a 35 series sidewall on the front will help to even out the fender gap between the front and rear. I'm waiting on the new Vossen CV3-R's to come in March. As far as being "soft", like I said....the ride quality feels identical to pre-springs IMHO.
gorgeous. dont know if its camera angle or what but to me front looks a tiny bit more settled than your first pic
Prolly camera angle, I haven't noticed any additional settle but I'm not out there with a tape measure each day either

If I had to do it over again, I might have opted for the RSR Downs (not the superdowns). Although my ride quality is AFAIK the same, I think overall...it's about a 1/4 inch too low for my taste.

Thanks
I have no idea, I did not know anything about bumper stops and I don't think my mechanic did either, so I'm gonna say no to cutting the stops.
Thanks everyone, can't wait for the Vossens to arrive!!!
Peace,
Jason
EDIT: I only have about 60 miles on these new springs as of these latest pics...just FYI!

When I had my stock wheels this car was very drivable with the Tanabes. Didn't have to be too careful. Lexus makes the stock height ridiculously too high. Stock BMWs, Mercedes, even my uncles Camrys didn't have that much wheel gap.
Just looks so off with that stock gap. Just my opinion . Always grew up modding my cars . At 35 still doing it haha
