these increase spring rate at the same time they lower your car 1.5" I got Tein's and i dont like them because the droped the car but the didnt have a stiffer spring rate

so hows the ride on them, there was some for sale on ebay but they are gone now. Those were actually the ones I wanted. My original post that I had on here had a pic of them on a rx7. They looked really good. Any more info you can give me one these tanabe springs?

i've always been a big fan of eibach myself...im pretty sure they make a pro-kit or sportline for rx7...prokits usually drop ya about 1-1.5" and sportline drops a lil lower with a bit stiffer spring rate.

would these springs be ok with the stock 14" rims with tire size 195/70r/14 and tokico blue shocks?
