Anyone got pics of LS430 on Eibach or Tanabe lowering springs?
I am having a tough time finding pics to help me decide on a lowering springs. I found a few Tanabe NF210 and DF210 pics, but not a whole lot, and definitely not that clear of a pic. I REALLY want to see a car on Eibach, anyone have any pics at all?
I need to fix my car soon, I miss driving it so much. Please help if you can
Thank you very much

Yeah how can I decide if I can't even see a pic? Normally I want to see it in person before I know what I want.
By spec:
DF210: -1.0"F -1.0"R
NF210: -1.0"F -0.8"R
I am pretty sure I am going to get the NF210 for the softer spring rate, and I want the rear to be a bit higher for a rake look. Not to mention these spec are for non UL car, I am sure the UL is heavier on the rear due to the rear power seat, cool box and rear AC unit. So the NF210 probably would give an UL a even F&R drop.
But the Eibach is listed as -1.4"F -1.4"R drop, that would be the exact height I want if it is 0.4" lower then Tanabe, but from experience, the Eibach Pro-kit don't drop that aggressively, so I am doubting the -1.4" claim until I see a car with it. I also want the Eibach over the Tanabe for the usual excellent quality. I hate to have to put the Eibach in just to see it for myself.
It is difficult because almost no one use lowering springs on LS430, all you crazy VIP guys all dumped it on the ground with coilover or air bags

Tanabe aren't bad, and my feeling is the drop is more then the 1.0" that they claim.
I just found Swift make spring for the LS430 too, but even less drop: -0.8"F -0.4"R
Then there is the You Zealand SS kit that claim to give a 30mm drop.
Sigh....I hate modding cars without good infos

How come the back seems lower then the front, especially they are the NF210, the back suppose to be a tad higher, or at least even. Is the car sitting at an angle? Or do you have something heavy in the back of your car? You got a big subwoofer box in the trunk?
Thanks again
