anybody rocking tanabe gf 210's? im kinda seeking some feedback on them... i was going to go coilovers but it may take a while and im getting rather impatient with my car being as high as it is....

and feedback would be appreciated

 

i think i got the first set back in 2003, lol. ride feels good, no complaints really. i did cut 2 extra coils off the front though (dropped it another 1.25") and one coil off the back (-.50-.75") going to go cut another coil off the rear in about an hour though to tuck the rears abit more and try to bring my spoiler off the ground a touch more.
i only drove on the stock springs for like 2-3 days though before i lowered it, so my comparison to stock may be abit rusty.

 

what are you looking for...just aesthetics or performance?

 

Why waste $300? Just wait for the coilovers.

 

a little of both

 

$$ im impatient and i want wheels more then i want coilovers at the moment.... and intense has gf210's on clearence at the moment .... under 200 bucks

 

I'm not too fond of the the progressive springrates, hotchkis or s-techs would be a better option IMO

 

i like my espelir active gt springs

 

Aren't S. Techs progressive too? I'd only really look at 2 options, and both are reasonably priced. Hotchkis (which I had) and RS*R

 

the windings do not appear to be progressive. the first few coils are wound tight, and they collapse till they touch when at normal ride height. how it would have to be done to have raised spring rate, lower spring, and still have decent extended pressure on the spring seats so they do not fall loose when ya jack it up. the rest of the coils are linear at compressed height.

 

Only the fronts are and only slightly progressive.
I havent actually seen the tanabes, but according to Gsedan35 they are progressive
