love my GF's

 

all of them use GF210 what shock do you use and if you use stock shock how many time if you ride with GF + Stock Shock

 

Imput?


Eibach 350Z progressive springs 1”/1”
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421


Tanabe GF210 Series 350Z progressive springs 1”/1.2”
Spring rates in LBS 336/375 (only peak rates are published, softer initial progressive rates unknown)

Eibach Pro-kit would be the better choice because of the higher peak spring rates front and rear. More spring to help delay the point at which you'll contact the bumpstops. This matters given how much shock stroke you have removed with both springs and because of how unforgiving the oem bumpstops are.

 

i know you didn't ask for these but hotchkis tvs rides wonderful and looks pretty good too

yea that is nice my buddy had those with his stock wheels it didn't appear that much lower but rides amazing

 

Thinking about teh tanabe gf210 with a rear camber/toe kit. How many miles do you think i can get outta my stock shocks before i have to replace them. Your experience?

 

Anywhere from 15-20K miles.

 

dude save yourself some time and do the shocks aswell the stockers wil wear fast then your ride quality will suffer. i'd recommend the gf210 tociko combo love mine

 

how much for a set of 4 tociko shocks?

 

Around $270 for 4 Tokico HP "Blues" non-adj.
Around $465 for 4 Tokico D-Spec adj.

How do you think the swift spec-Rs compare?

 

Depends if you're going for looks i'll say do it otherwise your rides quality will suffer greatly!!! Trust me i learned my lesson...

 

im loving all the Tanabe in this thread

 

So how much stiffer are the d-specs and if you do the gf210 and the d-s[ec are they sorta like a coilover? Opinions on whether to do the d-spc or blue?

 

from what i believe, d-specs you can change the stiffness, like edfc, and the blues are fixed, like the tein basics.

 

sO TANABE GF210 with the d-spec shocks and rear camber and to kit would that suspension setup handle closly to cheap coilovers? Differnece in that setup with coilovers and the difference in perofrmance between teh two?

tanabe was great for about a yr. then it ride like crap. on stance GR+ now, wayyy better!!

 

You'll need to decide whether you want ultra low, or comfort when choosing lowering springs. SPRINT suspension makes a 1.8" lowering spring, but the spring in linear(suited for track use - and abrupt on the street)
