tanabe sustec pro coils installed
i just got tanabe coilovers with helper springs and spc rear camber and toe kit installed at StreetImage.
It's fully lowered i think recommended till they settle. haven't adjusted my cambers yet so they're butterflying like crazy and they eyed the toe. just gonna wait till they settle to adjust height, camber etc.
The ride is better than stock imo. Thot it would be stiff but not really.
I was gonna go with Tein Basics but they were on back order so i cant compare these 2 and Eric gave me a good deal
Just got 1 shot from my camera phone.

Nice to see more and more people going with coilovers. Any specs on them, damping adjustable, spring rates, etc?

I heard that the height adjustment is very easy and the shock valving is impressive...what's ur feel on this?
With these high spring rates, I would expect the coilovers to be pretty stiff, but have heard otherwise due to the shock valving...how would you compare to your '04 stock suspension...and/or possibly a Z?

i got to drive it in the streets of LA today and i can actually feel the stiffness.
hit a hump in the road and heard a bang.
i've been driving it fully slammed for a week, and now i can feel the stiffness compared to stock.
stock is alot softer but only noticeable when i drive on rough roads.
my coils will be settled enuf by next week so im taking it back to StreetImage to adjust the front.(way too low)
i will see how easy it is to adjust.
