Default Megan Spring Suggestions?

Does anybody think Megan springs will look good on my 98 GS? I have 18 inch Infiniti wheels with 245/45/18 tires. Also if I use Megan springs will I be able to keep these tires without rubbing? Tell me what you think... heres some pics, thanks!

Does anyone have any pictures of the tein comfort sport coilovers down as low as they go if been reading some reviews and I keep seeing people say they aren't happy with the height adjustment but they love the ride quality. Cheers!

bumping this thread. Im lookin to get some springs for my new 01 and did some searching. I Found the nf210s,df210s and the ltuned springs which im not sure you can get anymore. I want to just close the awful 4-4 gap but dont want the car to be slammed to the ground. What do you guys recommend. The df210s and nf210s are leaning towards my way..??? The car is on stock wheels but was looking to find some g3 18 wheels in the future..

Ride Quality = No float at all, ride is pretty stiff but still bearable/comfortable. I dont know how many inches the drop is but its very low with the 17s.

This looks nice! I wonder how many inches is it dropped?

Not going to read through 20 pages but I'm curious if anyone here is using BC extreme low coil overs and if so what spring rate? I'm thinking of getting 20-30kg springs on shortened shock bodies but I want to know if anyone has anything close to this setup specifically the stiffness. I'm trying to achieve 'fender to lip' figment or tuck on 19s. Want it to look something like this.

If you buy Tanabe DF210 and install them on a 100% stock GS430 with KYB struts, this is the stance you will get.

How was the ride quality with this particular setup? Almost exactly like stock?

Newbie here: Does lowering springs like NF210 actually reduce how low your car can go under full load (5 persons and loaded trunk) when compared to stock, or does it only make the car sit lower when not under load?

Default Question regarding your teins

How many inches does the tein lowering springs you got on give you ?

When a car is lowered, the distance to bottoming out is reduced. With stiffer springs it will take more weight or force to get there. Tanabe NF210 are only slightly stiffer than stock and lower the car very little.

Would some friends please give me an advice which one I should use...
either the coilover or a fixed shock and lower spring? I have LS400 caliper on.

Right now I have tanabe springs and KYB shocks... it's OK but I think it's old not giving the comfort no more.

I like the feeling almost like factory with little more sport handling and decent low... this is everyday drive
I will change the front suspension bushings...

and which brand give would be easy to go with?

thanks
