Just installed my GF210, THANKS Josh (anotheraznguy)
Just got done with my install of the Tanabe GF210. Front dropped 1.0' and rear 1.2'. Josh aka Anotheraznguy did the install along with Dana of Auto RnD. These guys did my car and a friend's car within 2 hours!! They knew exactly what they were doing and fast and not to mention they were friendly like a couple of guys begging for crack! =) If anyone needs any kind of mechanic installs, go to these guys, there are in North Cali, Bayarea. THANKS guys! GREAT job!
Driving impression after install: The ride is much smoother, not as bouncy as stock and the grip is way better then stock. Around turns, the car grips the road like there's no tomorrow, no body roll whatsoever. During takeoff, the Z's rear end is more planted to the ground, unlike the bouncy tire hop you get from the stock springs. All in all, these springs are well worth the money. Got the springs from Hopup Racing for $180 shipped, can't go wrong with a price like that!

I will see if it will lower a bit more once it settles...

I had my GF210 installed yesterday too..!
love the look, but dunno about the ride.
I don't feel any handling improvement "yet", all I feel was the stiff ride.
But overall, I am all happy.

Wow, everyone is jumping on the GF210 bandwagon now.
I have been rocking these since the week after I bought my car, great springs. Funny, I'm also on the winnings
Great job guys!

they are progressive springs, so the initial rate on the springs is actually lower than stock.
my Z with race wheels... sitting on GF210s right now, but I'm going to some tokico linear springs as soon as they get here.
Just the right amount of lowering I think.

nice looking ride selski...
FYI, now that your dropped around an inch F/B, your going to want to get the camber arms for the front and toe/camber pkg. for the rear. Unless you like the aggressive camber? If not, you're going to wear thru your tires pretty quick, especially the rear. Trust me...

can one of you guys maybe post your alignment numbers after the drop. I need to get mine aligned sometime this week, seeing as I put these springs on a week ago. I do have the rear camber/toe kit as well.
