Tanabe GF210 alternative?

I've been trying to find a set of springs for my 88 fc, since after sitting for 10 years, the ones on there are rusted. Unfortunately, the TGF032/GF210 from Tanabe are no longer in production, and I can't find anyone with stock.

I'm running oversized wheels in the front, so I'd like to find a spring known to have good clearance, as the Tanabe's do.

Are there any comparable alternatives? They'll be used with a set of KYB AGX.

Back when the GF210s came out, RSR released their "race" down springs that were also popular. Search for a comparison of the two.

If you want some RSR race springs, then I have a good used set of four that I'll let go for $125.

GF210s are still available on eBay. That's where I got mine awhile ago, but the price seems to have increased since

I tried to order from 3 sellers, none actually have. It's all 'warehouse' stock that doesn't exist.

Same issue there, tried two different sellers so far. Both took a week to cancel the order due to lack of stock.

What oversize wheel are you running up front?
The front coil tends to be fairly large, compared to the rear. If you need clearance, then I'd recommend the ground control coil sleeves.

I might have enough clearance with the springs that are on there now. I just know some springs are wider than others, so I'm just trying to find something similar to the GF210s.

for the fronts, I think the wheels are 17x8 +30, 225/45/17 tires

rears are 17x9.5+38 with 255s
