I like Tanabe products.

I recently installed one of their braces.

Solid wood is safer than most ramps, it can't collapse like plastic or metal frames.

Solid wood laid like this on top of the cement foundation holds the weight of a house for 50 years or more, so I think it will support the weight of a car.

I remember reading about swifts... someone wasn't happy with them. I'd stick with GF210s.. they were my first springs and they were awesome.

Please let us know how they are when you get them on...I've been contemplating these springs as well, and am still undecided.

Are you installing these yourself or taking it to a shop?

For Tanabe springs, some may prefer the stance of other springs, but the ride.... it's undoubtedly one of the better springs out of the bunch to get.
