I've read about Tein's valving and I really can't say that I was in favor of Tein over tanabe at the moment but I was/am considering.

As for going low? They are advertised at 2.5 up front max and 1.5 in teh rear max! That's not much lower then Tanabe DF210/Sportlines/MR springs....

I actually emailed Tanabe-usa and inquired with them about the helper springs...


I have no idea who Thao is either.. lol But if he ran the Tanabe SS on his s14 tell him post in here with his thoughts on them..

Thanks...
