Hey I wanna lower my car about 1 to 1.5 inches. Don't wanna go the coilover route. Many brands... to choose from don't know what to pick

 

I have espelir springs. Not sure what the drop is but its moderate and still comfortable to drive. Drives nice n comfy.

 

Tanabe DF210 is where it's at. 2.0" in the front, 1.5" in the rear, supple ride but less pitch and roll. Looks good for stock wheels.

 

I plan is going 18s.... maybe 19s.
I don't wanna go coilovers because I know I will slam it like I did with my ls430

 

what he said, and maybe some rcs's to boot

 

I'm on kyb struts and tanabe nf210 and it rides amazing and for right now (only because I'm going coils) it's a very clean, comfortable, and accessible ride height. You can tell its lowered, but not dumb slammed either. And I'm guessing SoCal Cyco meant RCA's (roll center adjusters), which will further drop it 15-35mm depending on the size RCA you purchase.

 

What's the drop on your car?

 

Df210 gs400/430 spec

 

Which, FYI, is P/N TDF24B. P/N for GS300 spec is TDF024.



235/40-18 which is nearly the same overall diameter as the stock 235/45-17.
15-17mm RCA in the front would make even gap front to rear.

 

I'm running H&R Sport Springs, they drop is around 1.5" front and 1.3" rear. The ride is a little harsher on city roads but on decent roads it's almost as smooth as the stock springs. The handling is a lot better than stock, the body roll is pretty much gone.

 

H&R has an excellent reputation. Nice to see that their offering for the S160 confirms it.

 

Thanks for the help.. I've been looking around. Going to try to install myself

 

They don't sit TOO much higher than my GS on coils does. I went with BC coilovers so I have the option of being on rail (well, close), or being functional, plus I didn't have to use a spring compressor or anything :P

 

Indeed, they really improve the handling of the car and they are way more comfortable then I expected them to be. Make sure that u get an alignment after lowering!

 

What...?? I have the tanabe nf210 on KYB's, I don't know what you mean by "what's the drop"
