Just got a question...what color are your Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs...Red...or...Orange...?...Thanks

Orange

 

hmm...mine are RED...i wonder why...i expected Orange...but they're RED...?...

 

speaking of tanabe gf210's, have you installed anything for the camber issues?

 

Tanabe GF210's are orange, NF210's are blue, and DF210's are purple. I have them on my 350Z and I have not done any camber modifications. Just get a 4 wheel alignment and you should be fine.

 

they're like a dark reddish orangey color.

 

GF210 = Orange



We have them in stock and will beat any sponsors price.

 

Holy Crap...mine are seriously RED...haha...Weird...and i got them straight from Tanabe...ill take pics ASAP...haha

 

Mine are orange.

Andy, could you beat the price I got mine straight from Tanabe? $14.96 Shipped?

You guys get a camber kit? Or just realign the tires? I'm looking to get Tanabes.

 

LOL, well unfortunately Tanabe isnt a sponsor on here and if you got it for 14.95 shipped, Im sure there is some kind of sponsorship behind that.

You dont necessarily have to get a camber kit, a 4 wheel alignment will do just fine.

 

J/K man. I won a contest a while back here on my350z and they gave me a set of free springs. I just payed $14.96 of shipping.

Nice!

 

then how come everyone talks about getting a camber kit? also, gf210 vs nf210.... which one is less "harmful" to ure car?

 

Damn! Free springs? Lucky bastich!

I called Tanabe yesterday about the color because mine were definitely not light orange like the ones perf nissan just posted. I've heard of a lot of fake tein junk being sold, so I was kind of worried.

According to Tanabe, they changed the colors several times. First was light orange with white text, then they started powder coating with reddish orange and black text, and now the newest ones are double powder coated red with black text. For some strange reason the box still shows orange on the front. confusing!

Btw, you shouldnt need a camber kit with the Tanabe springs, either seems to be the safer route the car, with the NF being the safest and lowest near stock spring rate. I was able to get my car pretty close to factory specs

 

The GF210 give the car an aggressive drop. What people have to understand is that the 350Z, already in stock form comes with negative camber in the rear and there is a reason why. If you straighten out your camber, youre sacrifining the handling of your car for even tire wear. I had my GF210's on for over 10k miles now and have gotten an alignment twice and my tire wear is the same as what it would be at stock height.

 

how long did your tires last for? for my stock springs and tires, im on 20k and it still has loads of tread left

 

i have the nf they are amazing springs very comfortable and i believe it drops the car lower then the gfs would -_-!

how does that work!?!?!!
