I'm in the market for some new coilovers, and originally had my heart set on a set of Tanabe Sustec Pro 7's. But then I see that they now have the Pro 5's, but for about $500 less. I've researched, and the only differences I can seem to find between the two coilovers is the spring rates are different (10/8 for the 7's and 8/6 for the 5's) and you can adjust ride height with the case length on the 7's. Both still seem to share the same internal valving.

So is there anything I'm missing? Should I just roll with the 5's, since my car is still a daily, and will see the street much more often than the track?
