hey guys
with the suspension turning into rock, I thought it might be time for coilovers. And the only two that make the full coilover is Tein and Tanabe. Which do u guys recommend? I read some previous post and one guy complained the Tanabe were hard on the ass. The best deal I found for the Tanabe Type II was $1019 and $1189 for one w/ helper springs. Thanks guys |

So are you guys getting these sorts of set-ups for racing or just so you can be lowered and still maintain a ride? 1000.00 is a LOT of money to sped on something unless you plan on fully utilizing it. Also, for those with limited performance suspension knowledge... you don't upgrade to coils sets and full adjustables if your lowering springs are too harsh. Coilovers are much much harder. Soft settings on adjustables shocks may help a bit... but it still won't feel much like stock. Just some FYI. performance suspension increases spring rates and stiffness... that's all there is to it.
