By the way, I've seen people mention WOT when referring to how the car drives with springs...what does WOT mean, and how does that apply to how the car drives? Thanks

Read post #47. I was compairing the F-Sport to Tanabe NF210, not DF210. F-Sports falls between NF and DF.

F-Sport: Front 25mm (.98") drop....Rear 19mm drop (.74")

Tanabe NF210: Front 1.1" drop....Rear 0.8" drop (looking at the GS350 RWD line on the chart from their website)

Maybe I'm missing something....

It says 25mm for both front and rear. I guess, you are somewhat right, because the NF drops the front 1.1 inch, which is what, 24.5mm? The rear, however, is 0.8in Tanabe vs 25mm F-Sport. We are talking splitting hair here.
