if so, I think that's BS, I think NF and GF drop the same amount, NF just has a softer spring rate.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it.. how long have you had them on there???
Have a look here, I did some research for you...
Stock 'Sport' Suspension RX-8: 156/113 (F/R)
Tanabe GF: 179/146 - Drop = 1.4"/1.2"
Tanabe NF: 162/112 - Drop = 1.4"/1.2"

Ya I called Tanabe and they went through all the possible mishaps with me. I installed correctly. He's like I think u have NF cuz it slams in the rear and the front not really. Idk y it's like that. Soooo gay. And it's weird cuz the front springs are shorter than the rears. Go figure
