Question:TANABE 2010 Lowering Springs Issue
I installed the TANABE springs on the WALD P11F.
Front rim size 9'' ( 255/30/22)
Rear rim size 10'' (295/25/22)
I noticed that the lowering springs are fixed properly on the Right ( Front & Rear). Wheras its slighty low on the Left ( Front & Rear).
Any Suggestions ?

What i meant when i said Right side ( Passenger side ).
Left ( Driver Side ).
On the passenger side the front and rear are perfect ( The tires fully show then immedietly theres the gap * no space *.
On the drivers side the front and rear are slightly hidden.
I mean is there a possibility that the technician did not install the springs perfectlly( Over-torqued / Under Torqued ) the springs ?? or no matter if the springs were removed and installed again the lowering will remain same ?
The below message is for the people who have WALD 22's P11F & Tanabe.
Do you face the same issue or is it just me ?

henry is correct, there is only one way for the springs to be "seated"....i've heard that it sometimes needs to 'settle' into place after a few drives?....sorry if that doesn't help...and no, mine is not lopsided like yours....

was the issue resolved uae? hows your ride with the tanabe springs? most people tell me that they only work on the LS460 and wont fit the LS460L, but my LS is without air suspension. Kinda confused weather to get them or not, im ordering 22" rims and would like to lower it with tanabe. Just want to confirm that they do work on the LS460L without issues

They work perfectly on the LS 460L.

I measured my ride height recently on my GS and they are even all the way around except that the rear left is a bit higher so that it even out when I am in the car. I measured my wifes suspension at the stock ride height and they are even so I dont see how uneven ride height are supposed to be OK
I had the same issue wit a set of Tein H tech springs I ha d on my GS. The left side of te car was lower than the right. same thing with the NF210 on my G35. Thats why I went with coilovers for the new set up.I have had a perfectly even ride. I think that with the cheaper springs sag on the drivers side secondary to the chronic weigh distribution asymmetry created by the driver
