ALL THE GOOD STUFF IS IN CALI!! lol.

great opportunity guys! get on that ASAP!

 

Lmao! yeah, seems that Cali always get their stuff done quicker! Good opportunity though for those who live in Cali anyways. At least they get to test out the parts, and get them free. Those who don't, have to pay for them full price, which sucks! I'd take this opportunity if I lived there.

 

Damn my car's not stock. Would be a good opportunity though for someone starting out down here.

You see all these people realize the SEMA show is just around the corner and the new lancer is going to be a big market.

 

I sent them an email. So hopefully I will get a call

 

Again, cali girls get all the stuff.....

Good to see the market finally taking off.

 

Tanabe, Megan, GReddy, HKS and K&N are all making parts for the 2008. Add this to the support of our major boys (RRM and Works) and it's shaping up nicely.

 

great that all this mayor parts makers are doing all of this,can not wait

 

Don't know what you guys have for details yet, but any chance we'll see more than what you mentioned? I've love to see a whole line of strut braces and stabilizers and underbraces from Tanabe.

Also, any chance you know details on which springs you'll be making? Full line, I hope? I wouldn't mind getting the NF series for my car...

 

you can add AEM/DC Sports to the list.

 

? explain did i miss something here?

 

Please do not ruin Tanabe's thread by discussing competitors products. Start your own thread if you want to do that.
