Default Tanabe NF210?

Discontinued? Any chance anyone knows where I can purchase?
I read really good things about these.

Thanks!

They're nice springs, but the Tein S-Tech is a better all-around spring and still available AFIAK. More comfortable and better handling vs the NF210's. I've run both (including many others) and Tein is my go-to now for most cars (even threw a set on my buddies new A90 supra and he's loving them as well). If you're set on the NF's though - used is probably the only way you'll be able to find a set.

I am going to go with your recommendation and go with Tein S-Tech springs and TRD shocks.
Is that a winning combo? I surely hope so!

Thanks again on the response.

They should pair nicely together. The S-techs respond very well to a bit of increased damping.

Rightfully so, they're tremendously nicer springs to drive on than the TRD's lol. TRD springs are trash compared to others and don't offer an even drop.

If you're doing springs and shocks though, might make more sense to look into coilovers so you can adjust the ride comfort and height to your preference. My vote there is Tein Flex but look around and see what works for you.

Quick update: tried to buy the S-Techs, told they were on back order twice.

Anyone knows where to get a set? Evilbay seems to be the only option for me.

When I ordered mine I got them from redline360, they usually have pretty good stock. If Redline has them, use REPEAT to save a few $ @ checkout.

eBay is fine just watch out for counterfeit.

Quick update:



Tein S-Tech on TRD shocks. Also rear sway bar installed. Just got them today and will report on results (getting an alignment right now)

That stance looks great. How are you liking the ride so far?

Night and day. The fact that now when I accelerate the rear doesn't dip anymore, the corners feel amazing (no more over steer / under steer)
and the fact that it doesn't bounce or rides harsh makes the S-Tech / TRD Combo worth it. Whoever recommended this combo is a genius.

That's exactly what I was expecting you to say

Glad it worked out for you. I've much preferred every Tein setup I've had over OEM.

That looks great! What size wheel and tire are you running with that setup?

Hi there. Have you had any issues pairing the TRD shocks/struts without the Teins since then? I ask because I have a Xd that I want to equip with the TRD shocks struts and either Nf210 or Tein Stech springs. Supposwdky the NFs sag. I know its late but Learning from others experience is what I enjoy when working on projects.
