Anyone have the Tanabe springs in stock? So far I haven't found them in stock. OPTAuto has them for $174 but they are out of stock.

I thought the same thing till i called them. They said they dont stock them, but once you place an order they send it through to the Tanabe wherehouse where they are kept at. Mine took 4 days to arrive. All i could say is...awesome springs! Measured drop on my car...1.75" front, .75" rear. With the stiffer spring rates you could also feel a difference in handling.

Did you pay $174 silver8?
935 Motorsports, what is your price on them?
How much stiffer do they feel? I like that they give 1.75f, .75r...to make it nice and level

It should have been an error. They are selling the springs for 38% off retail, less than most vendors are allowed to. I did talk with them and they are standing behind that price so the deal is valid.

yup paid $174 for them. Well worth every dollar. Perfect drop on the EVO if you ask me.
