Trying to decide between which Tanabe Pro SS

[sideview_180sx]

tanabe SS are better valved then the low end teins. make sure its the orange color version. those get pretty low if you run like 16s. Thao ran them for the longest. awesome coilover and stiff for the entry level price. simple true adjustment, not tein bouncy. the one with the helper spring is nice if you slam the car so the spring doesn't move around and pop on you.

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...
