BEFORE- Stock


WITH WHEELS-STOCK HEIGHT


LOWERED-Tanabe NF210

 

Very nice. Looks nice.
If I had it to do all over again, I would have gone with another lowering set-up. The NF210's settle too much and ride too much like stock. The car looks good though.
I'm thinking of changing tire size, how does the car ride on 245-30? Probably not much different than my 245-35.

 

I wanted the plush stock ride. I noticed the difference w/ the Tanabe NF210. After driving 50 miles home from the shop.......I'm glad ....to have gotten the NF210. I can imagine the DF210....would be even harsher. This is exactly what I wanted......after seeing the difference in ride height.....and ride quality.....

I'm not going to spend the $$$$ for coil overs. For the price I paid......for the parts and labor......I'm very happy...w/ the end result

 

Maybe but I wanted only a mild 1 inch drop. After 2 years the NF210's have settled down to 2 inches. I didn't want it that low.

 

are you serious? 2 inches? sheeesh......they settle that much?

 

Yes, I've had the car height measured by professionals.
It's actually a little more than 2 inches in the front.
If I do springs again I'll try Tein H-Techs or S-Techs but coilover ar ethe best way to go. It's worth the extra cash. You firm but comfy and best of all, adjustability.

 

wow...I've never heard of springs settling 2 inches around 2 year lifespan. Has anyone else experienced this too??

 

no rubbin issues????

 

That looks freaking fantastic!! Love the wheels!

 

see, didn't i tell you from day 1 that you need to lower your car?

 

RC your ride looks sweet
I'm installing my NF210 tomorrow morning also, will post pics.

That's the first time I have heard of the NF settling to 2" and I've researched this forum over and over before deciding on the NF. I agree Coilover are the way to go but my wallet won't let me do it (plus my wife won't either, lol).

 

NIce ride...Like the drop..its's not to low and for sure ride is like stock. I have TTE springs in my GS. I think is the same height too...

 

thanks guys.....to all of you. I'm a slow learner. I'm not up to speed on all the "tuner" upgrades...etc...etc. I'm kind of cautious what I do to my car. Henry knows.....I ask him a million questions....on this and that that and this. Pretty redundant.

I told myself I was done fixing up ...cars...etc...etc. Don't have the time to ....fix this....or adjust that. I just wanted a luxury...car to cruise in. Not so much into performance. That was why I bought the GS. All the bells and whistles....without fixing up the car that much. I compared this car to Audi and BMW..... Hands down....Lexus packaged all the bells/whistles ......just right. Whereas.....Audi /BMW ..."nickel and dime" you for all the options...which is total b.s.

Yes...Henry...yes...you told me from day1..to lower my car after I got wheels.....You have to understand from where I'm coming from. I never thought I would buy wheels....nor...lower it...hehe.... What's next?? hahahahahh

I went from a 1992 Mustang 5.0 Eibach prokit, Hotchkis camberkit, re-gear rearend to 3.55, headers, exhaust, alpine system to
2003 Acura CL
2005 Acura TL
2007 Lexus GS Mark Levinson
next car...hahaa......I'll save my $$$$$ when they come out w/ the GS-F.

Stuck w/ this car for a while......

Going to wait a couple of months......I am interested in the F-sport sway bars......F-sport intake.......... I"m in no hurry.... I want to see more reviews.....I don't want to "rice-out" my Lexus.......

VIP- guys do a nice job.....of tinting the rear-lenses.......... I'm debating....on that one....just pondering the thought. Nice job....looks like the factory...dark lenses that Mercedes...has an option...

 

No rubbing issues whatsoever.....NONE !!!!!
I've never heard of SPRINGS settling 2 inches !!!! that is a new one...for me...

My rims....have a Silver face that matches closely to the car....and the lip is polished....not sure if u can tell the contrast in the pictures......

 

Big difference... Looks good!
