Tanabe Products

ive ran a search and searched about Tanabe Coilovers but to no success. As far as I know, there is nobody on this forum running them. A local import shop that I've previously brought from has them for sale and for less than $1000. Ive read on other forums like clubrsx that Tanabe makes pretty good suspension parts.


The following is a link to the website- http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...odelDesc=Civic

Can they compare with Tein basics or Progressive Coilovers? Also Im a little confused about what they meant when they said the helper springs arent included? TIA

From that pic looks like they just offer the shocks and not springs so its not a true coilover. Might as well get some konis for that price or some tein ss for the full coilover. They look good though. Post up if you decide to get them.

Did you miss the springs in the picture?

I don't know of anyone who has them, so try them out and let us know. They are more comprable to Tein SS.
