Which lowering spring is better? They both cost the same and will drop the same. But which one gives better performance for road coarse racing?

Noone knows?

i hear bad things about RB springs. And they arent very cost effective.

So i narrowed things down to Tein and Tanabe

I enjoy my RB + KYB AGX. I think Eibach springs are cheaper then the RB ones. But, I would go for RB or Eibach. GL.

ground control. my racing beat is definately better than stock, but not really stiff enough if you are looking for performance springs i think. wish i had gotten something stiffer. i wonder how much stiffer the RB vert springs are.

hmm... so everyone has an oppinion on every thing EXCEPT the springs i'm asking about.... hmmmmm

Being the cheap bastard I am, I have Tanabe GF210's and Tokico blues. I"m really happy with the ride. When you first see the Tanabe's, they look like progressive rate, but the softer portion completely compresses once you put the car on it's wheels. It gives you extra spring travel over the bumps. This is on my daily driver, and my commute is almost 40 miles of mountain road with some porely paved tight one lane twisties. I'm really happy with how the seven responds with the new setup.

Of course, I am comparing it to worn out stock springs and shocks.

ok so we got one NO on tein and one YES on Tanabe... anyone else?

lol good lord people here are dumb. Friend has KYB AGX shocks and Tein S tech springs and he loves it.

I've got the same setup and I love how my car rides, soft enough to save my back but stiff enough to have fun around corners

racingbeat is cheaper & better quality IMO! tein you can get cheap on ebay for $50 bucks for a whole set

RB... cheap... umm no.... Tein and Tanabe 160 shipped.... RB $210 + shipping... Find me a better price and i'll buy them. Also find me Tein for $50 on ebay and i'll buy those. What are you smokin??

I have the tanabe springs, first they are very hard to find hardley anyone has them in stock. and they are kinda soft for me, i still have soem body roll. and the tein spring rates are lower than tanabe. they are mostly for looks.

its gonna be the Track/daily driver car. Just for play. Not for serious stuff. The car will still have full interior. but i got the wieght down to 2530lbs. Still looking to get another 100lbs off it.

I have Tein Springs on my Protege and i wish they would have dropped a bit more but other than that i havn't had any trouble at all and it rides good.

I have the tanabe gf210 and kyb agxs and i love em. Stiffest "street" springs availible and has a very nice drop. Shocks affect comfort more than springs so cant really comment on that. For the mtn roads i drive on, any stiffer then it would skip over the bumps but seems like im lucky and its just right
