    Tanabe Springs- 3 Types

    Does anyone have the Tanabe springs on their car? They have the Normal Feel, Grip Feel, and Dress form. I found this on Options Auto Salon for $156. Here is the link **Click Here**

    I emailed Tanabe twice and still haven't gotten a reply. Tanabe's website (and Options Auto) show that the EP and the EM and ES all use the same spring. The spring rates Tanabe lists are too low for an EP IMO, but the drop seems perfect (1.3"). If you do go with these springs, I would go with the grip feel, they have the highest spring rate. The descriptions for the normal feel and dress form make it sound like they are primarily for show. If they up their spring rates, I would definitely buy a set.

    Yeah, the Grip Feel sounds like a perfect drop to me too... I don't wanna go to low. Just enough to get rid of the gap... I wanted to know if anyone else had these and what their opinion was on these...

    Well, I just tried to order the springs from Options and they are on backorder... :D So it looks like its going to be Neuspeed or Eibach Sportlines.. Does anyone know why the Sportlines are cheaper then the Pro-Kits?
