Time has come to get some springs and shocks for my GS3, im looking for a nice low stance but nothing to stiff.
comeing from H&R race coils on my VW GTI im really just wanting a smooth ride now, would the Tanabe DF210 springs and KYB GR-2 shocks be good for each other?

Thanks alot

If you want a smooth ride with a subtle drop, get the NF210. The front lowers aby 1.5 and the rear by 1.0 I think. Somewhere around there.

The NF210 provides a stock-like ride but without the horrible OEM floatiness. My friend has the NF210/KYB combo with TRD sways (known for their stiffness) and they ride a lot smoother than my L-tuned/KYB with OEM sway bars.

you sure there ain't nothing more to that?

can't the DF's be THAT stiff compared to the NF guys? goodness

i would get the NF but i REALLY like the DF drop it looks perfect to me

would the DF and GR2 work together?

I'm running the DF/GR-2 combo. I used to run NF's with the GR-2's. The DF's are slightly stiffer, but honestly there isn't much of a difference, it's still pretty smooth. I'd recommend the DF's.

just remember, kyb's are close to stock.

yeah thats what ive heard which i dont mind, i just want that DF 1.8"f 1.3"r drop without the stiffness or crazy bounce.
just wondering if the GR-2 shocks will hold up to the DF210 drop or not

Thanks everyone

I have bilstein sports/GF210 combo...the GF's are stiffer than the DF's with the same drop/stance...1.8"f/1.3" rear. If you want the nice ride with the nice drop, definitely go with the DF's...or go with the Espelir ASD springs!!

I'm gunna chime in since you recommended the springs that I have. I have the Espilers and I love them. I have no rubbing issues and the spring rate is close to stock so the ride doesn't change all that much. Not bouncy at all. Espilers drop 1.7f/1.2r. Perfect drop IMO

no rubby rubby on my dubbys

does anyone know if the espilers will fit a GS4? They sound like what I want otherwise I will get the DF's

also. since I have 18's would the DF210's be too low? I was thinking the same combo as the op.. price is pretty cheap for some GR2's.. I was thinking of going Bilstien HD's but by the time you add springs etc.. I might as well have gotten coilovers.

they will fit the GS4. All 2nd gen GS springs are interchangeable.
