Default Lowering question!

I currently have a 2014 is250F stock. I just got my tanabe nf210 springs yesterday and will install this weekend. Anybody have any experience or heard anything about the tanabe springs? I know everybody goes with rsr but i wanted a smaller drop

Not exactly sure what your specific question is, but if you go to the "Suspension and Brakes" subforum and do a search on Tanabe, you will get quite a few hits. That will also help you find specific people who have these springs and may be able to give you exactly what you are looking for. Search is your friend!!

I had those springs for a short time and they were good. most springs are fine. only difference between them is amount of drop. All name brand springs will ride nicely...

Clum im putting these on my 2014 lexus is250f and putting 20 inch vossen cvt on this week. I have read a few of your threads where you said they weren't what you were hoping. Should I return them? I like the look of them more then any spring out there but I still want a quality ride

the ride should be fine for most. I personally felt it was a little soft. But most Lexus owners will probably think it's nice and plush.

What do you mean by quality ride?

The reason I ask is, if you are changing your rims pay very close attention to the weight of the new rims and tires compared to the factory set.. If your new rims are heavier (a few pounds makes a difference) you will notice a harsher ride.. If you can find lighter weight rims and tires (forged typically) it will actually improve the ride.. Unsprung weight makes a big big difference..
