i find now that i like driving with the konis and pro kit when i am well rested, but after a couple hours of driving i just get beat up. so that's my motivation for changing. plus i want to move up to 18 inch wheels next spring and understand that would make the ride rougher as well. hoping the tanabes will lessen the overall bumpiness of the ride.

What is different between Type I and Type II?
Also, which version has the helper spring?
Nice buy though jigga, that might be my next suspension too. That or Tein SS.

and:
"Sustec Pro S-S delivers broad performance for the track to the streets. Featuring 4-way front and 4 or 8 way rear adjustment, S-S allows drivers to fine tune height, dampening and rebound based on track conditions and driver preference."
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/
looks like i would get the Sustec Pro S-S or the Sustec Pro S-S type II
but i wonder how these compare to say TEIN SS?
these Tanabe's seems are better for comfort + performance.

no applications for TSX with the Sustec Pro S-S or the Sustec Pro S-S type II and they cost atleast 1200.00 from the looks of it.

So, if ride comfort is a big priority, they should be even more comfortable......

BTW, you can find these for sale for 680 shipped at www.jzperformance.com. Never heard of them prior, but I was going to buy from there until I saw them on the Black Market.

I put an order through a forum sponsor, so I don't think it'd be in "good taste" to cancel on him unless he has trouble getting it in... that shipped price from www.jzperformance.com is ridiculous.
Does anyone have any experience with this site, or know where they're based out of?

Congrats everyone on this thread that decided to get the Tanabes. After losing out on the Tein Flex, I think that it was a blessing in disguise. I took the car out today after installing the Cusco Front strut bar and man do I love the handling on these! Additionally, they offer a great ride as well! Can't beat that

Or you could do like me, perform the install yourself, and save some money
I charge $120-130....don't get ripped off. It is not that hard to do.
