The GF210 springs are more performance-oriented than the other springs, so the handling will be a bit stiffer.

And that's good how? I'm not being an ass, just trying to learn  Like how would having the "stiffer" springs be better than the "other" tanabe ones. This post has been edited by idriveatruckWTF: Oct 29, 2003 - 2:37 PM -------------------- [toyota]

The stiffer springs will make the ride more bumpy and you'll feel more of the road, but your car will also handle better and not have as much body roll. It's a matter of choice. Personally, I'd go for the stiffer ride and better performance.

As do I. You gotta love slinging your car around curves! I thought about going for the race spec springs, but I figured the ride would be murder, lol. |

I'm with you dude........... can't be any worse than what I'm rolling around on now. 154,000 with stock suspension buying those springs and getting the gr2's will probably make the ride feel like heaven lol defgeph This post has been edited by defgeph: Oct 29, 2003 - 4:56 PM -------------------- I will return one day. |

Hmm, I guess it depends on how low you wanna go. And name brand preference also. I'm leaning toward Tein for both of those reasons. -------------------- [toyota]

When I think of Tanabe, I think of the Hyper Medallion exhaust.... When I think of TEIN, I think of good suspension parts. -------------------- [toyota]

Signal's drag team uses Tanabe,,, but I would too if it was given to me.
You can't go wrong with either. TEIN's Stech are more for looks than performance. THe Tanabe are more for performance than looks. Both will be a big step in the right direction from stock though. Here is the question: do you want handling or looks more? Either way, I doubt you could tell too much of a difference. Jon |
