I am just wondering what springs everyone is running and how you like them. Hopefully this will help me chose what springs I would like to purchase. Also please note if you have any unusual tire wear or other suspension problems after the spring install.

Tanabe GF210:

great spring for the street. Ride is smooth, I've been using them with stock shocks now for over 25,000 miles and everything's still working ok. I'm ditching them for some tokico springs, but just because I want linear springs to race on. The tanabes work just fine for the street.
1.2" rear drop, 1.0" front drop
17x9 +27 with 275/40/R17, no rubbing

 

I have sold more Tanabe GF210s than any other spring for the 350z great spring, great ride, great looking setup. If you have any questions about them feel free to PM me.

Great ride quality, barely different than stock. Much less body lean up front. Overall highly recommended.

I'm about to try Sprint springs because I want more of a drop. Supposedly they're 1.75" but people are claiming that's overly optimistic. We'll see.
