Looks like the DF and the NF models are FINALLY out!

I cant find anywhere to buy them. there applications list for springs still says coming soon. i really want these though

Front page says they're out and they have pics as well.

so, both applications are good for only a 1.5" drop?

WTF? That sucks if they are both only a 1.5 drop, hell you can just get the TRD's for that drop!

There are actually 2 diff model springs, the NF series which lowers 1.0/1.7" and the DF series which lowers 1.7/2.1 . I just got off the phone with Tanabe and the springs are arriving early next week. Im going to preorder the springs so that I can get some of this first batch. I cant wait to drop the car, because I just purchased some SSR's and it doesnt look right being so high up. Ill try to post pics when theyre installed.

The first batch of Tanabe NF and DF springs have arrived to Tanabe USA today! These springs are in stock and ready to ship out!!!

where can I order a set?

Got the order this morning and we're gonna get those out for you. Be sure to let us know how they work out for you!

You guys posted the spring rates of the new Tanabe springs. How do, say, the NF rates (2.6kg/mm all around) compare with the stock springs?

Any lowering spring is going to run harsher than OEM, because there is less suspension travel and higher spring rates. But the NF is a moderate drop, focused on max comfort.

I am totally fine with that, I want to know how much stiffer they are to have an idea of the handling difference. It will still ride better than my Fiero (Poly bushings, 8.0 kg/mm springs, 32mm solid swaybars, and it weighs 2700#)

But 2.6 kg/mm means nothing without the stock numbers to compare it to. I also want an idea of the additional work I would be putting the stock shocks/struts through. If your want, PM me the stock rates.

I'd like to know them as well please.
TIA

Hey! Stop riding my damn coat tails! Pull a remora on someone else's soft underbelly!

J/K, lol

I quietly state my stance on things. I started a whole thread on springs and have contributed to many a suspension thread. I usually ask for info on many threads. You happen to get to threads first and be vocal. :P
Can't we all just get along? lol

We've sold alot of these over the past few days since theyve arrived so Im sure that there will be a few reviews in the coming week. :)

Anyone know a place online that has them listed yet? Unfortunately there isn't a place anywhere near me that I could order them from. I only found one site that shows the 08+ xb springs but they still say not available. Guess I can just email them. Thanks.

I just contacted someone from Tanabe's website they have listed for dealers, gave them the part # and they called Tanabe and ordered them up.

Tanabe...darn!! I was hoping to pick mine up today and install tomorrow and give my review. Looks like Empower where I ordered them didn't receive them today :tap:

Since they are so new, nobody is going to have them listed on their website. But any Tanabe dealer will be able to get the springs for you. There are a few Tanabe dealers on the forum or you can also find a dealer on the dealer locator.

Look, I am an Mechanical/Automotive Engineer. I do not want to hear from someone's uncalibrated ___-o-meter that your springs are "a little stiffer than stock, but really not bad", etc. I would like to know the numbers. You HAD to have measured the stock springs in order to engineer the lowering springs; so I know someone at Tanabe knows the stock rates.

If you really refuse to tell me/us what the stock rates are, at least give a reason why not.

Unfortunately that information was obtained by the R&D department in Japan of which they do not wish to disclose. You might be able to call Toyota and they may have an answer for you.
