whos intrested in tanabe coilovers, serious intrest only Options

[airfron]

Adjustability
Front-1/2~-2 1/2in

Rear -1/4~-2in

Spring Rate in kg/mm
FR 8.0
Rear 6.0

Adjustable camber plates are not necessary as these would bolt on to your stock mounts as well, but would be useful . I got mine for ~$250 from here

As far as shipping to canada... i don't know exactly how that would work out. I think that we would have to recieve them from lewfx and then ship them to you. so it'd take a little longer.

[urbandork]

so is that three sets??? perhaps we should put a group buy together in the FS section??? aaron what do u think?

[airfron]

For a GB in the FS section we'd have to get coomers approval through one of the mod and if we do set up a GB everything would be through Jeff so he'd have to be included in it.

But it might get more interest sparked because more people look at the Buying/Selling area.

I'd say go for it

[LewFX]

you do know that kyb makes these right? they make em for tanabe and slap a tanabe logo and make it exclusively for them

[airfron]

i do now

that is still very assuring..

did you get your tanabe's on the accord yet?

[LewFX]

should be getting them hopefully this friday

[Tigawoods]

[urbandork]

yup i knew that but it was one of the reasons y i went with tanabes...

[airfron]

sorry guys this took too long and i had some personal things come up that are gonna end up costing me more than these coilovers and i won't be able to get these anymore but good luck

and if you want help with the install Craig let me know i'd like to see these things go on and how to adjust them properly

[Tigawoods]

i'll buy it new then if we cant organize another gb

[urbandork]

i'll buy it new then if we cant organize another gb

well the price i think was like 1075 through jeffs guy for two of them... this is the best price ive seen. Aaron is out but im still in..

[Tigawoods]

thats still not bad....i am good for that in a month or less

[Tigawoods]

just to clarify again, these do NOT come with top mounts correct?

[urbandork]

just to clarify again, these do NOT come with top mounts correct?

the rears come with a solid aluminum mount and the fronts do not come with any as the stock ones can be used.

W00T!!! i got a check from good ol george and am back in this if you guys are willing to get the type 1's.


I did some reading and stuffs and found out that the type 1's are more to my liking for street conditions, as they do have the helper spring to assist the assembly. The type 1's are also significantly cheaper than the type 2's. Which i hope is not an error on tanabe's part, because the type ii's are supposed to be the budget model of the two models available for the 94-99 celica.

From http://tanabe-usa.com/

Type I
Celica (ST202) 94-99 8.0 / 6.0 -1/2~-2 1/2in / -1/4~-2in TSC083 $990.00

Type II
Celica (ST202) 94-99 8.0 / 6.0 -1/2~-2 1/2in / -1/4~-2in TSC083X $1,200.00

I also spoke to LEWFX and he estimated that the prices for these would be as follows. (These prices are based on a GB of a minimum of three sets.)

Type I : $872

TypeII : $1075

And if anyone is interested in ordering some extra springs for the tanabe pro 210 coilover system as well as the helper springs, here is a link that has some at a great price Click Me.

i had been thinking for a month now about going with type 1's for the helper spring and if it is ture that they are cheaper then the type twos then i for sure will be getting the helper spring type 1 model.

so aaron does this mean ur back on the g/b???? if you are thats three ppl and we should order it asap so we can have them for the summer.
