Now onto the review:
Construction
All the aluminum adjuster parts are nicely finished in a red anodize and Purple very well machined threads and *****. The aluminum rear upper mount is very sturdy and thick. the Tanabe Sustec came out at exactly 55lb for everything included vs The Stock weight 68lbs and what a big difference right.
Installation
The install was pretty straight forward. The instructions do not include an actual step by step how to, but i did it with some help from a good friend 6 hours job.(it was so freaking paitful) but was alot of fun and good learning experience. if you DIY please make sure familiarize with the stock setup before you start Everything.Some of the parts you will reuse from your old suspension such as the front upper plate, shock boots, bump stops and F/R spring seats.
Daily Driving
These coilovers are very very smooth when driving normally. They are in fact way better than the stock ones. After driving over 200 highway miles on them so far, I can definitely tell they are far more superior compared to stock. Stock was a bit too much bounce and isolated car and driver input feeling when compared with these Tanabe's. Long trips shouldn't be an issues. I have faith on them.
I will give them a big Long journey's test, I am Driving across from NYC to CA in the next few month.
Spirited Driving
They are very smooth and comfortable, they are also much stiffer than stock. You will notice as soon as you take the first corner. Body roll is reduced a lot. almost none. I Love them, Love them. you can enter and exit corners at much higher speed without worrying about losing control. I've been taking corners much more aggressively now..hehe I must say I'm VERY pleased with the way the car handles, steering responds and reacts to driver input. had experienced with the stock setup is simply non existent. Turn the steering wheel, press on the throttle and the car will go exactly where you pointing at and want it to. Freaking Awesome!
This is my first set Coilover. they are everything more than what i asked for.
no dampening adjustment but i like it keeps them simple and imo more reliable. as far as how low they can go? as low as you would need it.
Lou@Amplified is a Awesome person.
I want to Big thanks to Jeremy aka Black Betty, he also guiding me with proper instruction along the side.
Thank You ya all.
