i was thinking of getting tanabe coilovers but i wanted to know is there a diff. between the typeI and typeII's? the majority of the time it'll be for street use so idk which one to get..thanks alot.

yur getting the full coil over kit O__o?? uhh i'll check on that.

i'm planning on the gf210 drop springs.

Type 2 is more than sufficient for street needs and to keep your wallet a bit more happy.

Type 1 involves an additional helper spring to further tune your suspension setup, as well as upper mounts.

i ordered them but i was told by the place that ordered them for me that the tanabe coilover set up for us was discontinued... im guna check up on this

ok so i called tanabe up directly in Torrance CA and found out that they thought it was discontinued so thats what they told the retailers. Turns out it wasnt discontinued for our car instead some parts on the coilover system were/are being revised. I spoke to a James (ext. 105)

The revision should be done and coilovers ready to ship by january so some time 1st quarter of next year i should be able to get my hands on a set...

thanks for the info guys...i guess i'll just wait till later to buy a fresh pair

those coilovers will be sick... I would love a set of type 1s.

Have you considered the D2 ones? They're easier on the wallet and still very good

Installed them on mine not too long ago... http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=53882

im ditching the helper spring and going with the type 2's... i figure they will be a bit more responsive.

I have a set of SSII, older coilover setup that im going to rebuild with shortened Konis yellow, and custom springs 400/650 ratings

yeah..i considered d2's..also considered ksport's..but from what i've heared..d2/ksport aren't really good for performance, it's more of a thing for show..so i'd rather get something for its performance..function>form!
