Default How about Tanabe?

Hey guys, I'm still debating on which suspension setup to go with but i think i might get the tanabe nf210 springs. The only thing is that I searched and searched and nobody really rocks them on there SC400. I have a 1993 SC400 and I want comfort. I'm not going to put in on the track or nothing of that sort. Just want the stock feel. Mabey someone can post or link me to a person who has the Tanabe NF210 and with a picture of how it makes the car sit. I'm gonna either get a staggered setup of 18" or 19". Are these springs any good and if so what strut shock should i use with them . Thanks. Also how much does it really lower the front and rear because there website doesn't state it?

The Tanabe NF210 sounds nice. Hopefully the shocks won't have a hard time keeping up with the springs though (it all seems fine but you never know... and the replacement costs for OEM TEMS shocks is obsurd )

your ride is going to be stiff no matter what springs or strut/shock combo you're going to go with. If you want OEM-like ride with 18 or 19's you should look into the super streets.

Please search, suspension is not hard to search for at all. Asking more questions pushes back the important info.

Those should work well with either Bilsteins or Supra TT shocks, if you ordered them for a Supra that is, if you purchased Lexus fitment, then I don't know which shocks would keep up; Konis would if any.
How much did those springs run, if I may ask?
