Hi everyone,

I am looking for a set of lowering spring for my 95 LS400
Came across with the TANABE Lowering Springs DF210
Anybody have that on their ride..they cliamed that they will lower you ride (1.8 front and 1.5 rear) ...please show some pics if you do....or what other springs do you guys suggest???

Thanks

 

only companies that make springs for the UCF20 are Eibach (hard to find, may be discontinued ) Tanabe, and H&R.

search for peoples individual experiences.

 

thank you puredrifter... I was gonna go for Tanabe ....any recommedation?

 

what shocks?

i wouldnt use stock shocks with anything that gives u a drop >1"

 

You can try www.hopupracing.com, they got the df210 tanabe springs for pretty cheap... And if you live in the mainland shipping is free I think. I got those from there, very good service.

 

Hi takumi117,
Thank you for your suggestion, do you have that tanabe set on your LS?
Can you please post some pics ...i want to know how low can it go

Thanks

 

Here's a pic of Tanabe DF210 springs on a first gen to give you an idea of how low it'll drop the car.

Here's a pic of my LS:
H&R springs (drop of 1" all around)
Bilstein heavy duty struts

If you want an aggressive drop - go for coilovers man......more adjustability. I wish I would have done this in retrospect.

 

I am running Eibach and Bilsteins and got over 2" drop:

 

This is also stated in the GS forum with redundancy. We all knew but for wahtever reason budgetary, not thinking...in the end, it is the more appropriate choice. A higher quality unit like the Tein CS or bags is

L-Tuned still shows L-Sportline springs on the site.

Tonight we had a full car of 5. While it still drove reasonably well, if it had the Tein CA, set on soft and it would have been smooth all the way.

 

Measurments from mine, is about 2-1/4" front and since I use the normal perch setting in the rear, it is 1 1/2". Of course, the car varies corner to corner a bit because they don't sit evenly to begin with.

 

This is a good look - more aggressive than mine. My speed shop recommended the H & R's over all others - I really regret not just getting a 2" drop spring or coilovers in the beginning but I didn't know any better. I can live with the look I have but of course always want more I may opt to change the springs again since they would be the cheapest alternative over coilovers - we'll see.

 

hi Lexkost,

How much is the whole set up including springs and shocks?
So the Blistlin shocks are height adjustable? Where do you get it??
Thanks
