im about to lower my tC and i just wanna get some feedback from people who have these springs, or even if u don't have them. which springs do u think r better? for california roads...and how is the ride quality on these springs?? any feedback would be greatly appreciatted. THANKSSSS

 

well everyone on this site will swear by tanabe, but i will never buy a tanabe spring again. i had the df210s on my tiburon and they sucked. they handled superb but they were a pita because they werent made properly in the front. it seems that they just didnt fit snug within the cup of the strut. so whenever i would turn, they would move and make a thud sound.

also, when i took em off, a lot of the "paint" came off and the springs had rust on them.

tanabe, no more.... for me anyways.

 

TEIN S-tech. Great look, respectable source and the drop the front a little more than the back.... Cheaper then H&Rs...

 

I know teins are respectable but alot of people say that the spring is "soft" ?? is that true...and what do they mean by "soft" i still want a nice ride comfort but i don't want to see body roll, i wanna b able to take those corners and have a stiff car...but while regular drivin i don't wanna feel all the little bumps and stuff...what do u think??

 

Do not listen to people... It is all subjective.... What is soft to you maybe harsh to me.. Teins s-tech are progressive spring rate spring which means they are relatively soft until pushed hard. Compliment them with a set adjustable shocks (like KONIs) and you can get the grade of firmness that really suits your style and the road on which you drive. And then you can easily change that should conditions require....


Progressive rate is the way to go for a multipurpose vehicle.......

 

Love my Tanabe DF210's. Drop looks perfect on it, and the ride feels amazing. Thing is, most of us (including me), have only gone through one set of springs, and will give our positive opinions about it if it has been good; I took a risk getting these from good reviews from people, and don't regret doing so. It was worth my money

 

i have tanabes. i love them. no noise at all, and a great ride. the drop looks good as well. the only sound they ever made was after the install, my sway bars werent adjusted properly, so they were really loose and made a clanking noise every time i hit a bump. but i got them tightened... and im glad i chose the tanabes

 

Tanabe give an agressive look and a nice ride.. I would recomend this spring. I have them on my tc and love it.. I have the same problem after install them but just make sure everything is tight and goo to go..

 

Is TANABE spring progressive rate?

 

im anouther tanbe fan. i have the nf210s and they ride and handle great!
