coilovers are coming very soon guys, but for those that are happy with a spring shock combo, these DF210's are coming in a little over a week now!

Was our previous response able to answer the majority of everyone's questions?

(for oddball questions, no we cannot give away any for free, etc etc)

Joe, what problems were you having with your H&R springs-- do you plan to auto-x your car?

how much do you expect a basic set of coilvers to cost? will you have somthing comparable in price to the tein basics?

The H&Rs are great, they just have a less aggressive spring rate and a little too much body roll.

Our company is currently developing a full turbo kit. Stage 1 first, for street/weeken warrior car. Stage 2 will be a full track orientated setup and require quite a bit of mods. I'm planning on road racing the tC once we get it right and some aggressive suspension upgrades (along with brakes) will help my times more than another 50hp.

I know Tanabe makes great product. I'm torn between yours, JICs, and the Progress C1s. Time will tell. Thanks for your interest.

i really like the drop on these springs, but the only thing im worried about is reducing the life of the shocks. Are these springs worse for the shocks than the trd springs?

The lower you go with stock shocks, the more you reduce the life of the shocks. So yes, with the DF210 springs you will need to replace them sooner vs. TRD springs. However, you will get a little more performance with the DF vs. TRD. The drop looks better too. Good luck! Cya

Re: Sustec Pro S-0C (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/s-ocII.asp)

for the adjustable coilovers, we will be keeping the price under $1000 MSRP. Street/Market price will vary, and will typically be lower.


UPDATE!

The springs arrived from Japan yesterday, and are currently being shipped out to our authorized vendors! Thank you for those who ordered from our vendors, your springs will be arriving soon. We have almost sold out of our initial shipment of DF210 and NF210 springs!

For those who have these springs on order, please feel free to chime in on this thread and share your experience, or post any questions you may have for us. (Alternately you may email us at info@tanabe-usa.com)

Those of you who have purchased these and installed them, please post here!

We would love to hear your input, so we can improve or develop new products for the tC!

well... H tech is a much less significant drop overall. The S tech has a more forward slant to the car, since the front is lowered more than these

What do ya prefer? ;-)
