The GF210 is obviously a lower drop.... does anyone with either of these springs have any serious issues with speedbumps? I was thinking the GF210's because of slightly more of a drop.... however if scraping/speedbumps are going to be a serious problem then I might go with the Hotchkis. Any kind of input on either of these springs would be great... thanks. I'm used to driving a lowered vehicle, but the GF210's look reallllll low... dunno if maybe it's just the way the shadows are being cast in the pics I've seen or not..... also was thinking about pairing them up with either the Dspec's or Koni Yellows (Most likely the dspecs though). Thanks again!

 

The Tanabe is definitely among the lower springs out there, and if you live in an area like we do (Long Island, New York) where the roads are not all wonderful, you may find them a bit too much. Tanabe are a bit more expensive as well.

We've had alot of local guys using the Hotchkis lately, and from 2003-2006 models, they work amazingly well.

 

i like my gf210s.....they honestly dont look that low to me...maybe its just my eyes


cali roads are pretty bad, but i dont have a hard time getting around

 

I like the drop on the Tanabe's, they ride like stock yet improve steering response and you can feel a little less roll. The only advantage to the Hotchkis spring in my opinion is that theyre linear rates where the GF210's are progressive.

 

+1 on GFs

 

if you want to be able to drive into any driveway or speed bump without the fear of f***ing up the bottom then get hotchkis.

 

+1 Hotchkis

 

+2 tanabe

 

I wish my hotchkis lowered a little more in back.

If you want the good looks, go for tanabe. If it's not just for looks, hotchkis

 

what about eibach?

 

I would run Koni's with GF210's IMO, use D-specs.

 

+1 hotchkis.........alot of potholes in NYC..........

 

which hotchkis???

 

Hotchkis only makes one set of springs

 

if i buy the hotchkis springs i wouldn't need to buy anything else right? I could just put them on and get a realignment and my car would be lowered and run without problems?

 

most likely yes, but depends on your wheels and tires, as well as the alignment settings your car is starting with (Nissan sets them merely to a range from the factory)

 

Correct unless you start rubbing after alignment.

 

Is this a typical problem after the hotchkis install?

 

Sorry to change the subject but anyone/shop have them in stock...... performance nissan has them on backorder, Thanks

 

as with any car/drop it depends on your wheels - you certainly won't have any issues with stock wheels, only with the aggressive size/offsets Z guys like to run - even then, some cars never rub, as its subject to the specific tires you choose

We've got Hotchkis in stock yes
