Hey guys, Last night I emailed Tanabe about some stuff on their US website, and today I received a reply, which is quoted below.
This is great news! Tanabe is producing parts that will be available in the US for our cars!  If your car is stock and in good condition, you're located in the South Bay Los Angeles/Torrance area, and you'd be interested in helping Tanabe out with research and development, please PM me or email me, and include information about your car, where you're located, contact information(like an email address and phone number so Tanabe can get a hold of you), and photos if possible. You may get your car dynoed for free or get discounts or free parts, but I'm not sure yet. I emailed Tanabe back and I'm waiting for their reply still.

Yeah, that'd be awesome!
I just got another email from Tanabe, and they said that everyone who participates in their research and development program will get to keep the part tested if it's in the final pre-production test fitment stage. If the part is a prototype though, the testers won't be able to keep them. If some of you wanted to have the Tanabe springs test-fitted on your car in October, you'd be able to keep them.
