Anybody running the Tanabe Sevens? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I was just curious if anybody was running the new Tanabe Sustec Pro Seven Coilovers. I haven't seen any posts about them.

I would like to hear some reviews and comments about them, are they as good as the previous DD's that everyone loves?

Sevens aren't out yet for the S Chassis. Out, as in, physically here in the USA

I am still waiting on my S13/S14 shipments from Tanabe to come in.

Mid June IIRC

oh...ok...so i guess no one is using thm yet, haha

I thought they were supposed to be out since april? Or were they pushed back?

i believe the shop in auburn, wa is getting the very first sets of the sevens.

We put a set on an evo 8 with the electronic controller. It changes damping and spring rate and also taps into your speed sensor to change damping based on your speed. They are very very nice.

How much are they gonna retail for?

Uh....

Changing spring rate with an electronic gadget?

Don't think so mang...

speed sensitive damnpaning something i dont like considering the wheels spinning vs actual speed can vary pretty far sometimes =\

last thing i want is change in the car when i'm railing it hard.

SoSideways · 05-30-2006, 02:22 PM

^^^ Well, you don't have to hook up that little electronic gadget if you don't want to. It's just more money to spend on something that's not needed.

I'm sorry that was worded incorrectly. I ment to say that it is also available in custom spring rates... Got a bit jumbled there. Pricing starts at around $2000 without the electronic controller. (Depending on application)
