Comes down to your own personal preference on looks/drop, price, and comfort.

The Tanabe are lower and a touch softer but a little more expensive than the RSRs. NOTE, the TNF196 are FWD, if that's your NX it's fine. Otherwise, you need the TNF199 for AWD which are similar to the RSRs in terms of drop.

On the Tanabes, I wonder why on the 300h AWD, it shows the TNF196s? Do you know if the RSRs work on the 300h AWD?

some of you remember my black lexus... well, I trade it in for a silver/ red combo. I wasn't too happy with the black/black combo.
So far, I removed the chrome trim and blacked out the spoiler and roof rails. 20x9 and 20x10 wheels and this week I'm gonna still the springs. what do u guys think. Wheels was just installed today

I like the blackout look! Slight lowering will definitely make it look even more aggressive...

with the specs of my tires
Which are 265/35/22 and +38 offset

just thought about it, yall are the pros. I was about to pull the trigger on the Tanabe but was scared it would go too low and hit the tires. Help! lol

if u are AWD tanabe or rsr works for you. now the softer the spring rate more changes for the car to bounce a little bit... I'm going to install Tanabe on Wednesday. I have 275/40/20 on a 20x10 wheel, I will let you know
Also, the nx set up in the rear is different from the front. ur tires at front are sitting flush with the fender but not the rear .. so u still have room to lower it
can someone helps with the factory spring rate? pls

I agree. I don't think the black rims would look as good with the Silver paint if it still had the chrome trim, but with the black trim it really looks good.
