Which struts to go with TANABE Gf;s?
I got the tananbe GF springs. lowers 1.0 in front and 1.2 in rear.
i wanted to get the struts for the springs cause the stock struts will wear out sooner or later and dont wanna pay for install twice.
i was orignialy gonna go with the Tokico D-specs.
CAUSE i thought thoes would be the only ones that work with the srpings that are cheapest.
but then i read in another thread that these work with them too?

any input guys? kinda lost on what to do here.
dont care MUCH for handelin.. better then stock and i would be happy,. dont track the car or anything, just lowering for looks.
are the cheapers strust in the link pretty good?
thanks

hmm i searched around some more.
some people say they will eventually start to die.
after about 60,000 miles.
true?
if so i rather just go with something with better valvin and that can handle lowerd springs better. such as the dspecs.
more input plz! lol

Everything else is adjustable... I doubt there is anything in the market that is not, to combine with lowered springs.
Koni / Bilstein(sp?) / Tokico D-Specs are prob your only option. And in terms of price, D-Spec are the way to go. I have heard nothing but praise on D-Specs also.

A better choice is to avoid the GF210 and get the D-spec shock and spring kit. You get a matched setup that offer's a real increase in front spring rate over oem. And for the same reason, I'd pick Eibach Pro-kit way befoe I'd go with GF210's.
You can also consider the Eibach Pro-S coilover, a kit happens to be for sale on G35 driver for $850 btw.
Koni's would not be a good choice with GF210's.
HP's are claimed to be stiffer then oem, have a really hard time believeing that since it's a entry level shock and that's the D-specs mission.

any strut has a limited shelf life - even more so when you force them to control a spring that is too low, like Tanabe's
You're wanting $300 struts to last the life of the car? That is an absolute impossibility. No strut, period, will last the life of the car.
