here's a pic of the springs up close with the model number. i bought these from ebay. (sorry about the first reply)
They have to 2 different model. GS300 and GS400/430. They have differences in springs rate. Which model did you purchase? I don't know what model do i have. I bought it brand new from the CL member. According to him, Mine used for 400/430. I am still confusing right now...
I just spoke to Tanabe USA and they told me that as of early this year, ALL their springs come in red. The reason is the double powder coating but really, it's a cost savings for Tanabe to coat all their springs the same color. So you should be fine man; install them and enjoy the comfort and lowered stance.
excellent, i can't wait to put these suspension on my car. lexus feel, here i come.

supposedly, GS3 spring rate is softer, and lower the car than GS4 springsOriginally Posted by movinquick

personally...I had the NF210's for a few months, and wished I had a lower firmer drop/ride....so I replaced them with the Tanabe DF210's...much better ride and look.....wish I went with them in the begining...
when i first purchased the car, the flex's were dropped so low that i was scrapping over the bumps on the highway. its funny, most people get new suspension and wish they had gone lower, i bought my car lowered and want it raised. hopefully i can find someone who wants coilovers that can drop the car super low and take turns with the bmw's, cause the flex isn't for me. i had to be a super careful driver with a dropped car. but at the same time i don't like the stock 4x4 look neither. based on what i saw of eman's car and the pics of lexizm's with the nf210/kyb combo, i think its best for me.
got the nf210s and kybs installed a few days ago. here's a pic of the drop. the tires got some left over tire foam on it. flex's will be in the classifieds soon if anyone is interested. i know my rims aren't staggered either, but thats how i bought the car.

That drop is from NF210's and KYB GR-2's? Oh wait, that's a 98 GS300. Why am I seeing different drops acheived from that spring/shock setup on various cars? What size tires are those front and rear?

Maybe what you're seeing is the different tire sizes. Mine has the same drop and it's a 430.Originally Posted by FIVEOHinNJ
