Hey guys I have been planning on getting after market springs for my s5. I already bought a set of kyb agx, initially i was looking to get eibachs pro kit but realized they don't make them any more.

I am now looking at the Tanabe GF210s and was wondering what's the input from you guys. It's about 1.7 inches drop which is pretty aggressive. If I do get those since they are cheaper than the racing beats what else do I need to get to fix the rear camber issues that usually happens with lowering?

Thanks

 

Get a adjustable camber link for your rear end, and a bump steer kit to level out all of your steering linkage in the front end. All can be found on Mazdatrix site.

 

Can I put a camber bar instead of the link? Do i need to get these if I was going for an inch drop too?

 

you can go with either. Scroll down on this link it'll give you options, the links and the bar.

Bump steer won't be affected by lowering the car, so this would be a waste.

 

I had RSR downsprings on my FC for awhile and had no complaints. Definitely better than the tanabes

Theyre getting kind of hard to find too. I'm actually surprised I found em so easily.

 

If you do, go for the single bar. The individual adjustable links are more expensive and have a habit of breaking.
A 1 inch drop only results in roughly 0.5-1 degree of negative camber. It doesn't physically hurt anything, but you are changing an important suspension setting.
I run that much camber on the street and it's fine.

My two cents: Everybody I've talked to dislikes the performance of the tanabe springs. Look for some racing beats or eibachs in the used parts section.

 

I used a combo of single bar and individual links. The bar to get most of the excessive negative camber out and the links to balance the sides to same camber.
