Default What springs to use with 20" Axis Mods

Here are the specs:

245/35/20 fronts
285/30/20 rears

I'm looking at either Tanabe Gf 210 Springs or Hotchkis springs. I searched the forum and haven't found a really good answer to my questions:

1. Will I need to buy new shocks (i know hotchkis have OEM spring rates... but what about the tanabe)

2. Will there be any rubbing issues?

3. Can I realign car back into OEM spec?

Hey. Do you have any problems with the VDC kicking on? Tomorrow I'm going to go from a 30 series in the front to a 35 series. Just curious on what I may expect. Thanks

I have the base model Z... i don't think mine came with VDC... i could be wrong. The only thing that is coming up is the annoying (!) because i don't have TPS installed

1. No.
2. No, provided you have typical offsets.
3. Tanabe - No. Hotchkis - possible, but probably not.

With 20's I'd probably go with Hotchkis. It just depends on how much of a drop you want, they are both good options.

I just installed the GF210 and im on 20" Sevas S22 and its seems perfect to me..its not 2 low cuz the 20" alone raized the car some so all the springs did is kill the gap.
