Tanabe Coilovers - Experiences?

[Guest]

Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Tanabe Sus-tec Pro Coilovers? Either the S-S variety or the GF types? Or with the quality of Tanabe in general??

I've ran a couple of different searches, a few mentions of the spring kit but not the coilover kits. I know they are a bit pricey but a number of cheap sets are popping up of Yahoo Japan so I was a bit curious.

Cheers for any info.

Wodjno on CVR4 had these and was very happy with them. He didn't have any camber issues or grounding problems with them

I imagine they'd be very good. Better rep than Tein.

My car has these, not sure which type. Never had any problems with them and they allow a pretty good range of adjustment according to pedders who lowered them for me. So yeah my experience is a good one.

Starting to sound pretty good. Reviews for other models are pretty damn good too.

Don't think I can complain about $900+ shipping can I??

As long as there is nothing wrong with them that seems like a bargain.

I got tanabe on my series 1. been really nice, lowered, coilovers, until recently...... drivers rear started leaking and could hear it topping out. took it to place i got car from when i 'had' to have it seviced by them for the warranty side of things. they said they make that noise when the bushings harden up after a few years. took it to pedders for a wheel alignment asked them to check it out. fine they said, dont think they actually checked. but this weekend sounds like there is a monkey with a spanner in my wheel arch bashing away over every bump. got to go hassle car place and see if warranty actually means warranty - if not.....$$$$

Don't forget Daniel to also look for a monkey with a spanner in your wheel arch.

You just never know !

Good luck getting warranty cover on an aftermarket part...
