I ordered both from www dot lsdmotorsports dot com.
They also did my installation there too.
I still keep the rear spacers for when I want to run my stock wheels and tires.
Just remember NOT to let anyone use an impact wrench on the spacer nuts. They will easily get stripped.

My Tanabe NF210's must have finally settled because my ride sucks now haha. My rears rub mildly with just a front passenger and rub on just about every halfway decent bump with my 2 little kids in the back or even just groceries in the trunk.
I absolutely hate my car right now. It sounds like a 1990's honda civic right now, not a sporty $50K luxury sedan.
Anyone else rubbing badly? Im running 20's but nothing extreme at all. Standard wheels/tires
They've been on or about 8-9 months so far

With the Tanabe NF210's, I notice everyone's rear sits lower than the front. Anyone else notice that?
**With the exception of Jarabanos car who just did an install a few days ago...He is the first '15 F-Sport I have seen to have the front slightly lower than the rear. Maybe Tanabe fixed this problem?

@ OHFACE,
I see you and I have the same concerns (I was reading through another post you had before you made the purchase for springs) regarding the drops being so drastic between company claimed specs and what we are seeing from CL Member's posts.
I have noticed the spring rates stay consistent between F-Sport and Non-Sport with the same part numbers, but the drop is very different for that exact same part number. Why? I attempted to contact someone at Tanabe but was forced to leave a message after not being able to obtain an answer.
I would just opt for coilovers, but I kinda dig having the ability to control dampening force from inside the car (like the old Tein coilovers with the EDFC). I know J5 makes an AVS compatible coilover, but I am not familar with that company at all....or their R&D.
Anyone know of any other companies stepping forward to produce an AVS compatible coilover? BC, Tein, Cusco, etc.?
Thx

hey guys,
In regards to the seemingly different factory ride heights, i remember reading somewhere that lexus raised the height of the AWD at some point. Can anyone confirm this?

yes you do, nothing happens to it and you cant change it either because no one makes it, so don't worry , the ride does not change much and you will love the way it will look.
