I've sold one set already. They look very good and ride a little stiffer than stock. They lower more than the Eibachs, especially in the front. They arent very popular compared to Eibach or TEIN. I don't stock the tanabe springs but I tell people that they are available if they want springs.

I put them on my EVO, they're great! Perfect drop for me , makes the front and back even and lowers the front like 1 1/2 " and 3/4 " for the back. I just went to the Summit point and the car handles better than stock. Less body roll and better turn in. No ill effects from dropping with stock struts,none. The ride is a little stiffer than stock, but bearable. Remember to align the car after the drop!

If anyone is in San Diego, I'll let you try a set at no cost. You have to give them back though!
