Hi everyone! Anyone here installed the Tanabe NF210 springs?

Quick questions:

1) Do these need camber kits?

2) Will these ruin our shocks over time?

3) Is $350 about right to have them installed by a professional?

4) How do they ride?

Thanks! Any info would be much appreciated!

PS: This is an awesome forum!! Love the community here : )

I have it on my car, U dont have to put camber arms , some do some dont. I did and its Specialty # 72450, and its does not ruin the shocks , I had it on my car for 3 years no issues at all, $ 350 too much max $200 , the front I understand u have to take the struts out, but the rear its 2 bolts and the arms come down and the new springs go in, and it rides very nice , no bounce.

+1 no problems, install was easy (and I am no mechanic). Don't forget to do an alignment after a bit (few hundred miles). Ride is fine, though I have to be careful when I have the whole family in the car going over speed bump.

I'm on Tanabe's and ride is pretty good. Slightly more bouncy than stock but I was on some hard tires, so some softer tires might help. I do have an SPC camber kit, even though it wasn't really needed right now. I'm going coilovers down the road so figured I'd just knock out the camber kit now. I did the install myself, wasn't too hard if you have the right tools. And lowering does add more stress on your factory shocks so they will wear quicker, but you should still get a ton of life out of em.

Thanks for they replies.

Does anyone here know if Wheel Spacers are needed when you install the Tanabe NF210 Springs? Or I will be ok without them.

For those of you who have Tanabe NF210's. When you have 4 adults in the car, do you guys ever experienced scraping or rubbing when going over speed bumps or steep driveways?

Wheel spacers aren't a requirement. Most people just install the springs and leave as is. If you want a better looking fitment for your stock wheels though, you can get a set of spacers to make your wheels sit more flush with your fender.

If its a steep driveway or high speed bump, I sometimes scrape when I'm by myself. Like driving any lowered car you just have to be careful, go slow, tryyy to avoid speedbumps, and go at an angle pulling out of a driveway.

Thanks! The GS is going to be my 4th lowered daily-driven car, I'm getting tired angling and needing to be extra careful, I just want to drive around with people (or by myself) with least hassle as possible.

You should be fine on the Tanabe's. I think it's a perfect even drop for a daily driver.

LOL that's the truth. I used to have a 350z on coils and my wife hated the first 6 months when I had it slammed to the ground. I raised it to a more practical height eventually, then to a height where I wouldn't scrape on speed bumps at my work.
