it surprises me that the front is now lower than the back.
usually, even though you get springs, the front is sitll always taller.
but, I guess we'll have to see
where are the pics?

05ES330, your car looks great with the drop. I just picked up an 03 ES300 and am looking to get rid of the large front gap. Out of curiosity, was the ride any different after lowering it and did you have to get the car re-aligned?

I know this thread is old but I've been desperately searching for these Tanabe springs for my 05 es330...could you perhaps provide a part number or even website? the only springs available were for the es300

The Tanabe springs are the same for all models ES's from '03 to '06. Nothing in the suspension was changed during these years.

Old thread but I think I’m going to get the Tanabe nf210 springs (part number tnf090) for my 06 unless there’s a better spring option out there. I’d like to replace the struts at the same time but what kind will match best with those Tanabe’s? KYB? OEM? Mine are the originals with 160k miles.
