Just got off the phone w/ tanabe and they finally have shipment of the nf210 springs for crz coming in the first week of november. I've been wanting to get these since I saw their r&d page. Tanabe USA R&D Blog | Honda CR-Z

Thanks for the link!
This appears to be exactly what I wanted to do with my CRZ. I drive the car everyday back and for to work 92 miles round trip,2/3 back roads 1/3 highway. I am a realist this car is alot of fun on the back roads,but the body sway is a bit much and here in New England the back roads are not that smooth. The springs sound perfect and the slight lowering shouldn't be an issue. I am also going to add upper strut braces front and rear.
The exhaust sounds very nice also "Medalion Touring Exhaust" with out being to much and looks great too!

92 miles and 2/3 being backroad!? Now that's a commute. I use dot go 80 miles highway round trip and I thought that was bad. I wonder if they have plans for a sway bar for this car in the near future. Didn't see it on their R&D Blog.

^ tanabe may or may not, but Cusco has a front and rear sway along with a few other chassis braces.

cusco is nice but as far as cost goes, it's quite a but more, no?

Been fan of tanabe and all these JDM companies... I wouldn't mind cusco if the prices were right. But whoever comes out first with good pricing.. I'll go with them. And tanabe NF seems to be resonable. Tanabe USA Inc. - NF210 Normal Feeling Springs ... pretty sure you can get it cheaper from a vendor.

yeah, I've got a local shop that deals with Tanabe and I've been bugging them about it. lol

What do you think about the Eibach springs? Does any one know how they feel?

Zangetsu · 11-05-2010, 12:33 PM

Not sure about eibach... are they out yet?

I just got a word from my local vendor that they'll be receiving the springs by next week >=3

What about their other stuff, like exhaust and under brace?
