I was looking to get some tein stechs with some agx's for a combo that I have read is pretty good for daily driving and autocross use. While I was searching around I ran into a brand new set of Tanabe Sustec S-0C. From looking at the info they are 6k front/4k rear and height adjustable but not damping adjustable. Would these be a better choice than the stech/agx combo or should I just go with the combo.
Also, for future reference, a set of suspension tech sway bars are gonna be put on once they are purchased. If that helps to give me some good advice.

Thanks in advanced.

Hmm...Firstable, do u drive your car as daily drive or for fun autocross?? If u drive your car as daily on street, u might not want coilover unless road condition of your area is nice. My area is bunch of pot holes...and some of my buddies are having some problem driving around with coilovers....
Plus the sustec s-oc doent have damping adj. ability.

I think this set up might be better for u, AGX & RSR Racing spring. They r one of best set up u can get without buying expensive coilover. RSR spring has stiff rate but since AGX has damping adj ability, u can set it as u like the most. So when u drive around local area u can set ur damper as soft but when u go on a track u can set it as stiff. But at the end, it is ur choice.

I am not expert at this thing, it is just based on what I know....I hope it help u out lil bit.
Ask other ppl around in this forum. Good luck to ya!!
Oh, if u end up getting sustec coilover, pleas post some reviews on it!! Always, good to share!!

I agree, rsr/agx is a great mix... please don't get the s-techs...IMO, they suck. All my friend s that got them hated how soft they felt, and also they really didn't lower the car at all....I would definitely go with the RSR/AGX combo.

Go Sustec. cause I said so. and you dont really exist anyway

spring rates are similar to my worldsports I would guess the dampning about the same to. very livable on the street. hehe TOO livable for me actually. well used to be anyway. I want stiffer!
