My friend and I ordred these coilovers.... actually he ordered his 5months ago and I ordered mine 2 months ago. And they both arrived w/ the same shippment.. now isn't that wonderful. I actually took Tanabe's very own demo unit they were going to use.
If you want these coilovers. Expect 3months minimum for them to come in.
These are all camera phone pictures....sorry for the quality.
But you gotta see these in person. They look insane from material to construction.
I will be installing these hopefully sometime next week so stay tuned. I'll let you guys know how they are.
BTW... just wondering who else has these?
Tanabe Sustec Pro DD coilovers came in!
Well, from my perspective it wasn't so much as how they over-emphasized "professionl Bai tested" but moreover as an overview of the company itself. Tanabe isn't a small company at all... they compete heads on with HKS, Tein, JIC/Zeal etc. From talking to many people with different coilovers, they all had their problems. Not saying that tanabe doesn't have any but things that pushed me away from others. Quality of product, valving issues, no dust boot, support etc.
Tanabe reached all those qualities in my eyes where as other companies did not. They make many of the products in their own facility. They have a SEVEN digit$$ spring maker whereas other companies don't. They feature KYB shocks which many US companies strive to get but arn't sucessful because KYB doesn't think their affiliation with them arn't good enough.
Tanabe hasn't had alot of products for the 240 in the past but if you were a Honda boy in the past and had a civic..... Tanabe would be a dream product to you =)
Theres alot of stuff i'm leaving out right now but i'm working.. Ta ta

Pillow mounts are at all four corners. Front have camber plates of course. Solid construction. And no they arn't installed yet. I'm dealing with my rb20 240 and trying to get things worked out with it. I might consider selling it so I might not install the coilovers. If i don't install it.......it definatelly going to be sold.They are worth the price.

imho helper springs = :pface
The fact that i have them and you don't :icesangel J/p haha
But I assume they better be worth the ****ing money i spent...cause daymn! =)
I was actually going to sell my rb s13 but i guess i'm deciding to keep it.... I have to get the headgakset and clutch installed b4 i drop the coilovers in.
)I finally got some better pictures wiht a ****ty camera i had in a drawer.You can see the rears w/ me moving the pillow mounts around. They are hugemessing around wiht pillowmounts
Those are it for now until i get a car to put it on. I'm really deciding between what car i'm going to put it on... I'll let you guys know how it handles once in.
