Hey guys I have threads up here about springs not getting to many replys so I changed uP my question hopefully have some better feed back.
Will I rub up front with tanabe nf210s? There is only a 5% increase in spring rate so I am affriad that with 19" rims (245/35/19) up front that if i hit a dip on the highway I'm going to rub like crazy.

Can anyone have any input to this? I would like to add some grip with the lowering springs but keep it stock feeling also. Hence my choice of nf.

If I am going to have problems my second choice is the gf210 I have only read about 1 guy not liking these. They have a high spring rate then the nf series and only a 1" drop up front so guessing rubbing won't be a problem. I would just go right out with these ones except if I could get an extra .2 up front too I want it lol and they r supposed to be gripper so I'm guess I little stiffer ride even though most members said rode very close to stock. Guess just wanna compare feel of both I have seen 1000pics and searched every forum I could find.
Thanks in advance

If I'm right that

If you bought wheels with the proper offset, you have the proper height tire , you will not rub when the car bottems out the suspension.

Thanks very much. I believe my front wheels are proper set up forgot the offsets but they sit perfect in the fender almost line up with it but still little tucked as for size I bought rims and tires used when my stocks were done for a great deal I have seen alot of members running 245/35/19 up front I know I need more tire in the rear to fill up the gap but like said they were used when there donzo I'll get the right rear tires. They r 295/25/20.

Can anyone add the way the ride feels comparing the gf's and the nf's

Thanks again in advance as always

I had Tanabe NF210 springs before and they rode great. no complaints

ended up going with the gf210 for now hoping I mad the right choice.... went with the slightly stiffer set up after reading post that the spring rate should be stiffer to make up for the 1" difference...

I have NF210's and i like them...i prefer Coilovers but i bought my car with these on and its alot better than stock (from what i have experienced).

I think you will be perfectly fine, the spring rate increase of 5% isnt going to make or break any rubbing issues u might have. It is somewhat of a moot point if you ask me...
