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.

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.

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
