Default Tanabe NF210's on SC400

I just did the drop on my 95 SC. I used kyb gr-2's all around with the Tanabe Sustec NF210's.

The ride is perfect.
The drop is OK to say the least. It's not going to slam your car but rather give it a sportier stance/ride. I have 18x9/19x10 setup and it eliminated the read whell gap and the the front wheel gap went from 3 fingers to about 1 and 3/4 fingers (the second one is tight to jam in, nuyk nyuk). So with that said, it's a great set of springs if you aren't looking to be hella flush or tucking rim. I'll try and post pics soon after she settles.

Cheers.

I have these on my sc300, just takes the extra height away, but does not drop it by any means. I still think the front sits a bit too high, could use a little less gap, but the springs ride great, and I already bottom out on lots of places like my driveway so I kind of like it at that height, I dunno how everyone slams their cars and have front lips that aren't getting destroyed.

Pics please. I'm ready to order the Tanabes and get away from my Espelir ride as I don't enjoy kidney damage any longer.

the front settled a bit more since last week. It's KYB's all around. The ride is superb.

So how stiff is the ride? I have GR-2s on the car already and have been looking at the NF210 springs but everywhere I read it says that its not stiff as other applications.

I want a LITTLE drop, but I want to basically eliminate body roll, make the car feel lighter than it is.

Try the Espliers for the best drop for springs (around 2 inches all the way around). These above also give a moderate drop for the money. Not bad at all.

Does your front passenger side sit higher than your front driver side? I have the same springs, about a quarter to half a inch difference. Checked the sway bars and links, all is correct. New shocks also.

That looks awesome! I have BC Racing coilovers and that is lower than mine sits at the moment. I quickly tired of bottoming out on NYC roads.

Looking Good!
