Nice post there tool bag....




The Tananbe's are not bad but make sure you run a adjustable strut with them. They are a bit on the harsh side if your local roads are shitty hense why an adjustable dampner would be a plus. I had them on Tokico HP blues and I grew tired of them after a while. Nice in stiff.

Also they cliam a 1.5'' drop but don't be surprised if the drop is less depending on the age/miles on your OEM springs.

i bought a set of them a couple of years ago with tokico illuminas, GREAT setup. like murray said, if you have shitty roads like around my area, with the illuminas set to soft, its very gentle and still looks bomb.
heres my setup on my current car

and thats 15" up front and 16" in the rear.

I have them, great for Daily Driving; low, responsive, stiff to a tolerable level. To me, as I progress in Autox, they are not as stiff as I like,(front 3kg, rear 2.5kg).

Hope I helped?

not the greatest pic. there are a couple more in my album. they're not bad. I'd rather have coilovers, but this works for daily driving.
