I own a 05'-SC430,and can't seem to get straight answers w/ reguards to lowering it .My 20's look hidious w/ height in the wheel gap. Anyone ever hear of TANABE? (assuming I spelled it right).I want to lower my car 1.5-2'' and don't really want to spend the $1500 on the cs tein coilover nor do I want to wait 6-8 weeks for delivery, like I was told. Thanks

 

umm here

Tanabe NF210 .9"/.9"
H&R 1.2"/1.2"
Eibach .8"/.8"
Tien S 1.3"/1.6"
Tien H .7"/1"
TTE 1"/1"

As you can see the tanabe nf's dont drop it the amount you want. Your going to have to get tein springs which run for less than $200 on ebay. However I heard ride quality was bad

 

Hey thanks for the quick info but, rumor has it the tein s -tech will not fit the 05'. Any of the bunch you listed will fit the 05 ?

 

if the tanabe springs you talked about is for 02-04 sc430, then it will most likely not fit the 05. 05 they changed the springs and shocks

 

Hey, thanks again. I may have to opt for the tein cs coilover afterall. I reallt did'nt want to spend the money but everyone who has them swears they are worth it...

 

you would think sooner or later someone gonna come out with an application

 

i wouldnt lower in ny... our cars are low enough already...
last car i lowered, i went thru 3 suspensions, alignment never back to spec even with front and rear camber kit, tire wear issues, lots of scraping(nyc potholes & speedbumps are the worst!), and general damage such as having the muffler pipes redone twice because there were holes from scraping...

even getting towed onto a flatbed while stock(sc430) the car scrapes...imagine if it was lowered..

 

wow ok you see that list, get the eibach springs if you have to drop it. Eibach are high quality springs, and with only a .8 inch drop you should be ok

 

yea the eibach pro-kit was the best as far as height a ride when i had it in my 98 acura cl with koni yellows...
though i hit a pothole in nyc and one of the shocks failed...and then i changed to a nex SR coilover system which froze(non-adjusting)
