What's up with Tanabe putting more drop in the rear than the front? The NF210's for the IS350 are the same way. I'd rather lower the front more than the rear.
^^ Coilovers consist of a spring and a shock. Think of coilovers as a spring and shock combined together, and when you purchase springs like the Tanabe, they just replace your stock ones and you keep your stock shocks.

Springs basically absorbs the movement from the wheels, and the shocks absorbs all the excess shock from the springs that you receive through the imperfections of the road and also to give you the most comfortable ride possible (in our stock shocks, but of course, performance coilovers are more stiff and have different valvings in the dampers). And together, they basically support the weight of the car.
Hope that helps!

Reason: Typo
then what does a spring do and what does a shock do?
Springs set your ride height, and provide for movement of the suspension so that it follows road imperfections. Shocks, dampen the oscillations of the suspension and car as it moves over road imperfections.
i hate how the only way to get an even LOOKING drop is with coilovers. the front should have more of a drop than the rear since the rear has less of a wheel gap stock.
