i respectfully disagree. it all depends on what kind of drop bigblack06 is looking for. if he wants just a slight drop and near stock ride, then tanabe nf210 should do just fine. if he wants to go lower than what tanabe nf210 provides, then it would make sense to go with coilovers. so the lowering option (spring or coilovers) will depend on what he wants the end result to be, what kind of ride quality he wants. there's no point in paying more for coilovers when springs can provide what he needs.

i would also consider carefully about getting the f-sport sways. i don't think there is a consensus whether the new replacement bushings entirely removed the clunking noise. sure you'll have better handling with the f-sport sways, but are you willing to deal with the potential clunking issue? you'll need to make an informed decision about this mod.

imho, the tanabe nf210 springs should give you what you are looking for. it provides near stock ride with a modest drop. search for my pics, you can see how a GS450h looks like with these springs installed.

From Milton, but I usually travel to Dedham a lot, only problem with the coilovers is I will lose the functionality of the avs( active variable suspension) and don't want to lose that. Does anyone this the nf210 is better than the F-Sport springs.
