The shipping weight for the product is 62 pounds, but that of course includes the packaging material and accessories.
The Japanese R&D department has that info, so I am sorry that I cannot provide you with that.

Thanks for at least letting me know the situation. Tanabe is not the only company that seems to think shock travel should be some top secret thing. Kinda tough to make an informed decision without that kind of info. Its almost as bad as not being told spring rates.
The Pro SEVEN's are actually more of a track oriented coilover than the FIVE's. The SEVEN's have more aggressive springrates, valving, and case length adjustment. If the SEVEN's are ok for daily driving for you then I would stick to those. You might want to look into the TEAS unit. It allows you to make both manual and fully automatic adjustments to the dampening.

Done! haha i had to get the TEAS so ive been using the Pro Sevens Daily Driver for the last Year or so. Love them. I keep it on 16f 16r. Love the feeling.
Iam getting everything Tanabe.
Thats how i roll. That and the guys at High End. make it happen. More SSR colors need to happen as well.
not to be a pain but what would the competition have to gain by knowing your overall travel that they couldn't find out with a tape measure on their own?
i could see withholding damper curves, spring rates or propriatry design info, but whats secret about overall travel?
IMO it seems like your more concerned about another manufacturer copying your design than leaving the customer in the dark. don't you think if another company were to copy your design they would just purchase a set & "R.E" them?
i know im in the minority here, but im not going to buy something unless i know what im getting beforehand.
