Wanted to see what everyone thinks about the Tanabe GF210's ride, feel, quality? I've searched and I find little or no info on them. I will be pairing these with the tokico d-specs.

thanks

subscribing, I'm interested as well.

 

I just got the D specs installed with the tokicko springs today. They feel good. I took one hard turn and it felt real nice, BUT im rubbing so i can't **** around too much until i get that fixed.

 

What size wheels plump?

 

245/40 and 275/40 I have aggressive wheels also. I run 18X9 +20 in the front and 18X10 +18 in the rear. The rear rubs quite a bit. Front is perfectly fine.

 

I had the same problem while I was considering suspension setups.

I've had this setup on my 03 Touring for about 3 months now. The
difference from stock to the GF210's and D-specs was pretty significant
(in a good way). The ride quality is great. Very smooth on the highway
and around town. I set the D-specs two turns away from the softest setting
(recommended setting from tokico) and am pleased with their performance in
daily driving (traffic and cruising with the occassional spirited blast).

One thing to consider with the D-specs is that in order to adjust the rears
you will have to pick up an extended length alan key to be able to reach them
through the integrated strut bar. I haven't done so myself as I've been
pleased with the recommended setting but I have seen a thread or two that
mentioned the longer alen key. I've also read about a flexible adjustment
extention but most people have said it doesn't work very well (gets
disconnected or just doesn't turn properly).

If you have anymore questions or would like to see pics of the drop let me know.

 

I will be running 18 X 245/40 and 275/40 soon but my offset is 9.5 +12 all the way around... I hope I don't rub to bad with this set up? ( d-specs/tanabe ) I might have to get the fenders rolled then huh?

 

Please post pics, this would help greatly!

 

It's pouring here today but if there's a break in the weather I'll post some pics after I get off of work

 

Subscribing for the pics.

 

Here are the pics I mentioned. I can get better ones when the weather clears. (This is the first time I've posted pics so I hope it works).

The wheel gap is a little bit smaller than the pictures suggest (the lighting made a shadow on some of the rubber).

Also, I'm running 245/40/18's up front and 275/40/18 in the rear.

(Edit: Added close up of front)

 

looks good! can't wiat to get my set... how do you like it so far?

 

I have that set-up and love it

 

Itll rub ALOT in the rear. Front you should get by with ease. I suggest getting it cut or rolled before putting on ur wheels/tires.

 

Yeah if you are, I will for sure. But at least I will be flush with the fender.

 

do you have any pics also?

 

To those with the GF210's, are any of you encountering severe camber issues? I thought any lower than an 1'' would require a camber kit to correct it? thanks in advance?

 

I've been told many times that springs alone doesn't require a camber kit. An effective alignment done by hand and computer should be enough to fix everything.

I'm in the same boat as you are now.

 

Just found this thread with a bunch of pics of cars with the GF210's on them.

Not true, if the drop is too much, the limited adjustment the Z offers won't correct camber. That's why camber arms exist!
