Default eiback prokit VS tanabe GF210

soo the eibach prokit give a drop of 1" all around

VS

tanabe giving the drop of 1"front and 1.2" rear.

could you guys be of great help and point me in the right way?

and NO thanks no coil overs at this time haha~

i would like a nice even drop.. not a raked look.

my friend lowerd his TSX and his rear is lower then the front.. looks pretty bad to me.

but right now as of stock.. the rear is higher then the front.. so would the tanabe GF210 put the car at a even stance?

or should i just go for the eibach prokit and just lower it 1" all around? would it make the rear just a little higher then the front?

thanks

I would go with the eibach sportlines if i were you. Its a pretty low drop but i havent scraped anywhere with this drop so far and i've driven on these springs for around 1000 miles now. For now the ride quality remained the same(will probably go bad when shocks blow). It gives the car a nice even drop. The prokit lowers the car nicely but the rear stays up a tad. The sporlines give it that nice even drop.

Are you lowered on stock or aftermarket wheels? Post some pics.

I just installed my Gf210's last weekend and I think your concerns are not warranted... The drop in the Rear on the GF210's is only 0.2 " more than the pro kit... Considering that that the "z" rear starts pretty high, it still looks like the same raked look to me, rear end is still higher than the front end, just by .2" less than before...

I took a pic today, let me upload it...

the tanabe gf210s settle very low,about as low if not lower than sportlines from what ive seen...GENERALLY if your going with those you for sure should buy a rear camber kit,u might possibly need a frontone down the line as well. eibach pro kit is very street user friendly,its what im getting installed soon.

Sorry, the pic I took is from a horrible angle, you can't see what you need to... I took it from a bad side angle, there are many other pics floating around here, search "gf210" in the suspension forum...

Good Luck with your Decision!

The pro kit is a nice drop. You cant go wrong with either.

Here is a example of my friends car with the pro kit.

thanks alot! looks good!

seems like alot of the eibachs come out to be like that.

BUT the tanabe is suppose to be lower by .2 in the rear over the eibachs.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM damn it! cant make up my mind~ haha

^Eibach seems to be consistent on their drop, however gf210 always isn't(from what i am seeing this whole time). GF210 and Eibach Prokit both are great choice. just go with whatever is cheaper and has better condition.

GF210 is no where near as low as the sportlines.

But I have Tanabe NF210 it's pretty even, the rear is barely higher then the front, which is how I like it.

You can always cut the rear spring mount to make it even regardless of what springs you buy.

Doesn't the NF210 and sportlines create the same drop? 1.2 all around
