Now that it have been a few months for some that have had the Tanabe NF210 installed. Can you describe the ride compared to the original springs.

 

I had stock springs for about a week before I switched to the NF210's. It's been 4 months since I made the switch and I'm still extremely satisfied.

With NF210's the car feels like it holds the road better (i.e., less float), is definately tighter in cornering and turns, and looks out of this world. It's just too bad we have to add these springs to the car to get it to look like the advertised pictures on Lexus.com.

 

It's great. I've had them on for six months and sbrown pretty much hit the nail on the head with what he said.

 

Had mine for 7000 miles and I also agree with the two posts ahead of me ;-)

 

I agree . . . That's a pretty cheesy thing to do.

 

Can you give an idea where to buy them and what's the price range?
Thanks!!

 

I have a set for sale. Brand new in the box...box never even opened. I'll let you have them for $175 plus shipping.

 

Good price.

Some questions if you don't mind:

How come you are selling them?

What would you guess the cost to install?

Will the GS warranty be affected or the dealer reluctant to work on it?

 

If you add them to a GS430, will they work fine with the adjustable suspension?

 

I'm selling because I decided not to lower the car. Looks fine as is to me.

Depending on where you go but it cost me 300 on the other cars. 200 to install, 100 to allign.

Since many Lexus dealerships now offer suspension set ups, it will not void the warranty. Anything related to the springs might cause a problem. Dealerships react differently...consult your service rep.

 

Check this thread out for my experience.

For the alignment can any shop do it or do you need to bring it to the dealership?

 

Any shop can do alignment.

 

HANDLING
I definitely notice less body roll and the vehicle is somewhat more responsive, it may be due to the struts. I'm not sure what the ride would be like in an RWD. The Lexus technicians indicate that the dampers on the AWD are factory set to be stiffer than the RWD. However, I have no method of verifying that statement

COMFORT
I notice a significant difference in overall ride quality. The ride feels stiffer at times. When you hit encounter pot holes or rough cracks you can really hear and feel it.

With upgraded wheels/tires the ride quality gets worse with less air between the tire and the wheel. So far, we have had our GS lowered and staggered with 20's for almost 1 year.
