| Has anybody heard anything about Tanabe Coilovers? It seems everybody has Tein or Progress so I'm wondering if these are any good? I was planning on getting these and adding the monroe Air Shocks to the rear to drop the car more. | |

| I've had those on my watched items but I'm going to have to pass due to no more funds. But I still got something for the box. Coilovers will be next. | |

| go for it, i'd pay 300. I've seen complete sets for 400-500 on SL or Club XB. His have a bad rear shock so you'll need a new set. I would buy them and get the monroe air adjustable shocks. can't beat $65 bucks. | |

| I have the Tanabe Sustec Pro Type II's on my RS 1.0. They are much softer than the K-Sports and HKS Hypermax Coilovers. They are basically KYB struts and shocks with threaded collars and Tanabe springs. I am not a fan of K-Sports. They are way too "clanky", but are good if you just want to slam your box. | |
