Thanks! Yea the spacers really complete the look.

Thank you!

Thanks and exactly my thoughts!

After having the spacers and springs on for the last 2-3 weeks I would say my only complaint (and its really more of an inconvenience than a complaint) is that because the wheels are totally flush with the fenders, any dirt that gets swept up by the tires makes it onto the surface of my body panels instead of in the wheel wells like it did when the wheels were tucked in a little bit.

Not a huge deal but something I definitively noticed right away; especially straight out of car washes when the wheels are wet. Even if I drive 5mph I still manage to kick up dirt and dust from the street onto my paint. It's very evident on a white car!

Other than that, I really like the setup and the stance makes the factory wheels look really good.

Looks awesome bud! i'm thinking about spacers and had a few questions. Any rubbing issues in the front when turning? also do you think you could have done 25mm in the rear? I'm most likely gonna do 15mm front and 20mm in the back, but I would love to push the rears a bit more if i could. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! No rubbing while turning. I did think about doing 25 in the rear but read a couple of people experienced rubbing with this setup so I went with the safe route since I knew no rubbing was a guarantee with the 20mm. Honestly just eyeing up the clearance, I think it would have been fine to go another 5mm but I'm happy with the way it is. Good luck!

Thanks

I love the height and stance. I've noticed sport model BMW's look that low right out of the box (without mods). Or am I wrong?

Dumb question: do you think you can still take it into a car wash? Or is it too low that it will damage the underside?

My car is on rsr super downs and still makes it thru the car washes, so I am sure the tanabes can clear no problem.

TNF170 is the one you're looking for.

Thanks! And I do agree with you that BMW and pretty much all the German brands are way better in the stance department for their vehicles.

And to answer your question, yes you can take it into a car wash. It's a very daily drive-able ride height so no worries there.

Confirmed!

would anyone put on 20MM spacers on front? seems like we can clear a bit more in front

without a drop, would you put 10mm in front and 15mm in rear?

Appreciate this thread, decided on the Tanabe due to your info...

Need some help guys. I bought NF210 lowering springs, and my car still sits higher in the front. From all the pics I've seen after install they all look nose heavy.. Is there a possibility that the installer put the front springs in the back and vise versa? I'm very disappointed at this point. Any info would help.

Has anyone had to replace their stock shocks since being lowered?

How many miles did you out get on the stock shocks while being lowered

Costs on new oem shocks for the gs350 fpsort.

I had an IS250 lowered on fsport Springs with fpsort shocks, but only got about 45 miles before they need replacements.

Worried to lower it again on just Springs and don't want to lose the dampening on the sport models.

Thanks

I have 14k on my 2014. Had them installed at right after I got the car new in March 2014. No issues to report yet. I tend to drive this car pretty aggressive on corners but very cautious with speed bumps.

I didn't notice that issue with mine that's RWD. It did take about 2 weeks to fully settle in. I chose not to drive the car for this period of time and got it aligned after the 2 weeks were up. After the 3rd or 4th day I did notice a big difference of it settling in. My advice is to wait a week and see how it looks then. Is yours AWD or RWD? Not sure if these springs were made for both.
