Hi everybody, new lexus GS300 owner here. Been reading through most of the threads last couple of weeks to get most of my questions answered. After much reading I still have a couple, so here goes...

I have some 20's comin in a few weeks. NAD-6's due for release in Feb. I'm about to purchase my springs and need advice. From what I've been reading it seems the Tanabe DF210's may be a little to low as with passengers in the car, I love the look but to many scraping stories. Then the NF210's are more comfort but don't look as good to me. My setup will be 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear. Some people say the scrape the DF's and some don't. Maybe some people can post their experience here if they have a similar setup. I plan on doin the Rando kit to right after I have the springs and rims installed. If anyone has any good advice then I would like some.

The other thing, does anyone have the Tien S.Techs springs installed at all. The reason I'm interested is because Options Auto Salon is selling them and the drop is slightly more with these than compared to Tanabe NF's. 1.4(FR) and 1.1(RR) for the Tiens and I think the NF's are 1.3(FR) and 0.9(RR). Going with the Tiens would get me closer to the look I want without having to buy the DF's. Lemme know what u think.

 

I have been throwing this one around myself and have the exact same questions you do. Tunabe DF210's are a 2.0" / 1.8" where as the NF210's gives a seeming more conservative drop at 1.3 "/ 0.9" I have actually sat out with a ruler and tried to figure out which is the better drop. For some odd reason I can't seem to feel just right about either one.

I have heard that there may be another spring becoming available soon, can anyone confirm this?

I have seen some sweet setups with 20's and drops here which has helped me a lot in wanting to do the same thing.

Scraping is a simple nuisance that can be fixed. Don't let it be a deciding factor. Go look at any really nice VIP cars. Almost all of them have the fenders cut/ rolled. I was just at the LA auto show... BMW 760s, Porsches, and the like... fenders cut.... Its just a price we pay...

 

rubbing...i'll be taking a heat gun to the wheel line this weekend
