This was after they were first installed. They have over 1000 miles now and have settled more in the front. Look at first 2 pics for current front ride height
damn, im thinking something is wrong with my tanabes now. maybe its my shocks though. Im not sure.
its been 2 months with them and i been waiting for them to settle in and get lower. but even with these 18"s, theres still a huge gap there... im abhout to go rice style and cut them down a coil. the only bad parts is, once you cut it, theres no going back.
I've got these on my car with the AGX and I hate them. The drop is wonderful, but the ride and handling is bad. With the way the roads are around here I bounce all over with the thing. Its real bad when I hit some of the concrete interstates that go up and down constantly I can just see the headlights all over the road signs. I even tried adjusting the damping and it just made it worse so I set em where they were the most comfortable most of the time and hit my head on some of the larger bumps, I think the rear comes off the ground with some of them. I'm not too impressed with them.
I love my GF210's. I'm running them with KYB AGXs all around and love it. Its stiff, but it handles great and I like the ride height compared to some of the other springs. I had a stock setup, then switched to RB springs with Tokico Illuminas all around, and didn't like the last combo. It was too soft and sat too high.
Here is my right height on the GF210's, thousands of miles after installation. I wish the rear would drop another inch and the front another half inch, but oh well.
For comparison purposes, here is my car with GF210's in the front, and the other car with RB's in the rear.
Have the 210's as well with Tokico Blue's. Very good handling with a near empty fuel tank (makes the car sit flat). But with anything over 40L of fuel, the rear is a lot lower then the front (tires almost inside the finder), making the front steering very light and understeery:
Thinking about Racing Beat strutmounts to compensate.
maybe thats why mine site so high in the rear. I have a fuel cell wich only holds 10 gallons full. pictures are taken with it empty. so thats a lot of weight gone making it sit a little higher...
but even with the full 10 gallons in, it still sits kinda high...
I think 0.5" will just about make it sit flat with a full tank. $200 is a bit steep for a pair of strut mounts, but if it fixes the problem, it's worth it.
Will 17x7.5 offset 35 wheels rub with Tanabe GF210 springs?
Thanks
...And six years later, lol.
Should have posted a new thread because none of those people are still on the forum.
I read the whole thread and looked at the pictures. My vert with stock springs is that low, only because they are worn out, and they actually got ALOT stiffer once they sagged. The only downside to my sagged and super stiff vert springs is that they will jar the heck out of you.
wow i did not know people still posted here lol. well i guess a update is in order i stilll have my white na se model 7 but i have been thru 3 more since then and now i have a 1987 turbo 2 with 110k miles and full suspension setup. and bunch of other goodies
i can defiantly say these cars have made me a great auto tech and i now have my own auto repair shop. here some pics
I loved my gf210's. I had them on some Tokico blues and then on some koni yellows. Then the konis failed and i ordered Stance coilovers. I used a $75 set of ebay camber plates that have been track proven by club racers and loved it! Heres my fc on the gf210's on 15" wheels and stock tire size 205/60r15
