Will I still need to buy spacers for these if I do not want the "tucked" look? I'm thinking yes but just wanted to make sure. Thanks

I noticed tanabe has pro210s for their sustec pro suspension... and they come with different spring rate. Is there certain ones I should look for? Any info on these?

I talked to James at Tanabe USA and he told me that they currently don't have the PRO 210 in the right diameter for our application in any other spring rate besides the springs it ships with. But they may in the future, the R&D is done in Japan for these. That's what he told me anyway. That was a month or 2 ago at least, you can check with them and see if that's changed. Ask for James, really nice guy.

UPDATE: I'm bumping this because I've recently gotten a number of PMs asking me about these.

It's been a little over 8 months since I bought these from Lou at Amplified Motorsport. I that time I've probably put 20K plus miles on my car with them. I love them more now than I did at first. They are holding up just fine. The ride is still great. The handling is still great. They are really easy to adjust. I had them installed at a local shop, it was a pretty easy install and took less than 2 hours for one tech (Thanks Unleashed Autosports). I've had a couple of questions and Tanabe USA has been great with technical support. They always answer the phone (even as late as 7:30 PM on a Friday!) and were able to get an actual engineer or tech to help me right away.

Overall I couldn't be happier with the purchase experience from Amplified and the quality of the product from Tanabe.

My opinion hasn't changed. Get these, your G will thank you!

Finally got these on today and was really suprised by the ride quality and handling moving from Eibachs. I was expecting it to be stiffer but I find it's damn near a luxury ride in comparison. Squat and roll even seem a tad bit tighter. I don't have bars and I feel much more comfortable taking turns faster. So far the marketing is hold true to the experience, comfort and performance.

I've never had the KW. They have 32 way adjustable damping. They're a quality product and a really pretty color. The cost twice as much.

if you got the money for KW's then go ahead and get them. Personally I bought the Tanabe's for 2 things. Stiffer ride yet remains comfortable and height adjustability.
