Please keep us udated. I was planning to get the tein basic. I think i should hold off on that until these reviews are up. My buddy drives a M3 with H&R springs and the ride is superb.

dont mistake tanabes to be better overall over teins. Teins are much harsher but handle much better. Tanabes are softer and also I beleive have progressive springs further increasing body roll. Whats too stiff and whats to omuch handling is up to you.

easiest way to describe them. they are little tiny springs above the main springs. they help to preload the large coil. so that when you do hit a bump. the main coil doesnt rebound AS much.

thats my understanding of them. basically. they allow for a smoother ride because of the preload they have.

im installing my tanabes tomorrow. ill take pictures of everything. and post up a new thread with all the info.
