so, just on the basis of quality of building and damping and whatnot, would tanabe or stance be better? im looking at the stance gr+ pros, but on enjuku there are the tanabe sustec pro ss type II for basically the same price. which has better quality?

note, im not asking which ones are better, because that is subjective. just which has better quality or reputation for quality.

ya but really, theyre good in my opinion, i think they ride really smooth. i even put the 9k springs up front and the 7k springs in the back and tried it on the highest dampening setting in the front and back and wow... its amazing. but of course i dont drive with highest dampening all the time haha but ya definatley worth the money if you ask me.

edit: oh ya theyre extremel easy to change spring rates took about 5 mins to do all 4 lol

I've seen a guy with blown Tanabe coilovers and it took for a while to get it rebuilt. As far as I know, KTS and Stance are easier to get it replaced/fixed. I have STance GR+ Pro, but never ride in Tanabe, so can't tell the ride quality.

so the helper spring model of the s-oc would be a good choice too?

should i be skeptical of the fact that the price is lower than tanabe lists them as? $933 vs $1050?

ah, i figured thats what it meant. id never heard the term before, obviously.

i even looked it up on urbandictionary, but to no avail. must not be a very common term. theyve got everything on urbandictionary.

except sowcow, apparently.
