I see that most people on here have been using the Tanabe springs. Anyone here tried these yet? Just picked them up last week. Too bad they're gonna sit until my wheels arrive.

I have not seen anyone done this before yet. Most of the people like the Tanabe which are the one that I am looking for as well.....

^^ sorry for a noob question, but if we install coils on AVS equipped vehicle, do we lose the AVS ability?

So you guys all get your brownie points. They're the JIC FLT-TAR VIP Series. They said it's the first set they've sold for the GS 430/460 (looks like they may have lied). We'll see how they ride. Hopefully sooner as opposed to later. And yes, I will lose the AVS ability, but for me the sport mode is still too soft.
