i had a change to be the first to test out the new Tanabe Sustec Z40 Coilover for the Evo X and here is the link from the Tanabe website.

here some pics with them on.







thanks!

 

And the point? 40 adjustments that do nothing?

This should be in the Show and Shine forum.

 

does it matter what the stance on the car looks like, they're coilovers and are height adjustable......those could be any coilover on the market. real question is how do they perform.

 

Here is a big hint they are not any good:

Spring rates -- 8k front and 6k rear. You like understeer?

 

said the same thing out loud before I even read any replies

 

pics of the actual coilovers would even be more useful... i never got when people post pics like this or ask for pics with "xxxx" coilover installed... i get it for springs but who the hell cares with a height adjustable coilover...

and given that the pics are at a car show i have a feeling we're not gonna get anything useful in the how the perform department... other than maybe "virtually no bodyroll!!!"

 

With all the unknowns about this kit. The one thing that they have going for it is the fact that KYB is involved in the manufacturing process. How much of the engineering and spec is from them is not know. But I would be curious to know more.

Clearly comfort is the target with this kit with Spring rates being on the low side. From what I heard this kit does allow for a large drop if ride height is something people are looking for? Are you planning to drive these coilovers strictly on the street?

 

i will write up a review later i just been busy with shows and work

 

its more for looks. first time having coilovers so everything is still new with me. thinking about going with some swift springs cause i hear they are better.

 

I would say large drop in the rear.. Looking at the link the front on lowest setting isn't low... If they aren't priced cheap I don't see people choosing them over fortune auto, bc, etc

 

And cheaper. Buying coils just to lower the car is a bit ridiculous.

 

i got these for "FREE" so it didnt hurt my wallet
