Default Lower 08 ES350

I've been searching the forum to see if anyone has used any type of Tanabe springs for an 08 ES350.

I know some have had success with Eibach but I was trying to find someone that has gone with Tanabe.

Thanks for the info

Just curious why you would want to totally F up the suspension geometry and handling of a 4 door luxury sedan with ricer lowering springs? Seems counter productive. Im sure a dealer near you has a civic for sale.

That's actually pretty funny, not going to lie. I've been thinking of the same thing though- maybe dropping the car an inch in the front and a little more in the back. I'm afraid doing so would completely ruin the ride of my car, and doing so would certainly take a toll on my tires.

By reading your post, I assume you are against modifying the ride height of the car? I plan on new rims, but I don't want a clown car with huge rims either..

I think there is someone on this site that pimped their ride. Try the search feature under pimp mobile and something may turn up.

FYI... We ended up putting 19" rims and Eibach springs. It rides smooth, handles better and looks a lot better.
