I was wondering if there was anyone out there running Tanabe coilovers on their box. If you are, how's the ride? Happy with the height adjustment? Pics would be great. Thanks in advance!

Got them on my ride the type 2's. There smoother than my stechs n stock shocks. Still a sporty ride. on bumps its not as harsh more evenly distributed. On certain big ___ bumps has like a extra rebound guess its due to the sportier shocks. Loving the ride its on the lowest hieght, dunno how low it is cuz it says that tanabe has shortened shocks too

Yep, Brian put mine on for me. I have the S-OC IIs.

The ride is better than stock on everything but the harshest surfaces. The adjustment is sufficient for me, I keep it all the way down in the back, which is a little lower than xBs I've seen on DF210s which go down 2.2/2.0 front/rear. So I'd say I'm between 2.2 and 2.5 back there which is about even or maybe slightly lower than the front.

In the front I can go down about another 3/4" and stagger the height compared to the back but the ride gets stiffer as well, so I leave it where it is. Any other questions, let me know.
