Tanabe nf210 impressions
What a great change these springs make. They correct the "floaty" lexus ride without a bone jarring experience. I used to use the "sport" suspension button on my gs430, but this mod provides a more predictable & stiffer ride, more like a bmw. And the car looks better lowered without the wheelgap. This is one mod everyone should do first 
Now, if we can just get some stiffer roll bars! How about it Daizen, L-tuned?

I am on the east coast and I just finished installing them at about 5:00 and it was getting dark already - so the pics I have are not great to show the drop. I will take tomorrow morning and post them.
The Tanabe NF210 are great. Quality as 1SICK said is top notch. The installation was not to bad - I had a friend help. He let me use his store and its tools. They don't do springs so we went to local Pep Boys to have them compress the front springs. The rear springs were not a problem. You really need someone to place a foot on the rotor area and press down to get out the housing but other than that its a simple install. There are some basic tips that I can help out with you attempt this on your own. Just pm me. It is really in regards to making sure you can put the Electronic Damper Control Module back on without a problem.
I didn't have my good camera with me so I didn't get to take step by step shots. I used an old digital camera and it worked okay. I didn' t have enough light to shoot outside pics after the install. I will do this in the morning or sometime this week.
The ride is excellent - not much different from the O***s. A little firmer and I still keep mine on sport mode. I didn't have any errors as some people say they had with the headlight sensor error? No pulling right or left after the install. I like the drop - its a nice drop.
I can't wait for my 20's to get here. (3 weeks and counting) - DPE R07's Brushed.
Highly recommended. If anyone is in the Atlanta area and would like to have someone do them for you. My friend at Discount Tires (Manager) can help you out. I hope I am not breaking any rules here in regards to mentioning my friend. If so please edit
Here is a pic from inside the shop. I can't seem to post more than one pic. It says I have a maximum of one pic.

I've got the lexus 18" g-spider wheels on now. If I can find someone interested in buying these wheels/tires with 7kmiles on them I've found a set of 20" rims I'd like for christmas

I love my NF's as well. I have stock chromes and it looks sick. I did not get one compliment on my car until I dropped it and did the chrome wheel exchange through Sewell. Now there is a crowd around it at the car wash and valets go crazy!
