Default Spy or Tanabe springs?

Hey all,

Just wondering what everyone's opinions are on these two springs. I have the Spy springs but have been wondering what the ride is like w/ the Tanabes. I have a chance to get some Tanabes.

Thanks,
squirrel

i love my tanabe's, i think the ride is smooooth - and the fact that the front is dropped more then the back is perfect for me becausei don't like how the spy's, and most other springs settle lower in the back

but that's just my opinion

i heard the goldlines may settle lower in the front too - but i'm not sure of that

I love my tanabe DF210 springs..it's a little more bouncy than spys' but i went with tanabe to match my tanabe exhaust...either way though, both brands are top notch. :D

I guess I'll just use a cut-off wheel and take a coil off of the front end. I want a bit of rake to my xB.

THANKS ALL!
