Default Zenn or GF210?

I ordered 20" wheels the other day and they are gonna send me Zenn springs that I never heard of.

Is it worth trying it? If not, I will order Tanabe GF210.

Thanks.

With 20's you may consider getting the NF210's as they will offer a better feel with the ride and has a less agressive drop.

Tanabe NF210

how is the NF210 a less agressive drop when the drop is 1.2 all around and the GF210 is 1.0 front and 1.2 rear? i Know the spring rates a little higher on the GF's, but wouldnt it be better to run the GF's?

Going by the Tanabe catalog it says it lowers that much...

The G35's we have put the NF210's on have lowered maybe a 1/4" all around...

That's strange. On my Z with the NF210's, it lowered it about 2" all around, maybe slightly less. The front tire is slighly tucked and the rears are even with the fender. Wheels are 19s 245/275 35.

I do have 2 10" subs (nazar's box). When taken out, it does come up about a centimeter.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that the NF210 has a less aggressive spring rate, not drop, as it will probably give youa better feel in ride over the GF210. The .2 inches in drop is very minimal, once the springs settle they will end up being lower than 1.2 inches.

im trying to figure out what drop to get, since my S-tech's aint doing the job anymore.. my car looks 4x4.. lol. BUT i have 20s, and as of now, the front sits nicely, but the rear sits too high. So i was considering the GF's since its a lower drop in the rear than in the front. I like stiffer spring rates though
