CORRECTION: These are Tanabe GF210 springs. I've been so mesmerized by the new look and ride, I mistyped the model number.

A tip of my hat to the EVOM member who suggested the Tanabe GF210 springs. I'm extremely pleased. I was a feared that the ride might be less than pleasing, but my concern was totally needless. Ride is every bit as good as stock, perhaps even better. It is a wee bit firmer, which is the only way I'd want a performance drop spring to be anyway. It is certainly not firm enough to be considered harsh.

Spring spec comparison:
...................................Front.......... ........Rear.............drop
Stock(USDM):..........180lbs(3.2k)....225lbs(4.0k) ......STOCK
Tanabe GF210:.......256lbs(4.6k)....319lbs(5.7k)....1.5f / 1.0r

i think there called GF210's...lol....i waiting to get mine installed ...cant wait!!!

 

Im running the GF210s they are Very Nice

 

GF210's look nice sir!

 

do you have a close up of the wheel gap? Im looking into getting these. How was the install? did you have to cut the bumpstops?

 

I got these ... nice drop... not too strong...

 

Car looks good...especially wingless.

 

Close-up pics were not real clear. With the GF210's the front tire to fender gap is reduced by ~1.5" and the rear by a tad less then an inch. The car looks normal now, not slammed, but right where you would expect a performance sedan to sit. The jacked-up-4-wheel-drive look is all gone.

I had my local Tucson shop - iA Performance - source and install the springs. I'm pretty sure the bump stops were not cut.

These are the best deal in springs IMO. I originally wanted Swift - lots of good write-ups on Swift on this board. But, they are hard to find and cost another $100. You will be very pleased with the GF210s!!!!!

 

awesome! im taking your word for it! haha i ordered them. Good prices at gruppe-s, 170 shipped.

 

Looks a lot better with the drop and I'm sure the handling is improved as well. Good choice!

 

Nice, great springs!

 

Someone needs to photoshop that picture with black wheels.
