Default Tanabe Sustec S-0C Coilovers!

Hey kids!

I just got a set of new Sustec S-0C coilovers test fitted by Tanabe. Tanabe undergoes rigorous test fitting of JDM products to ensure that they fit USDM vehicles before actually selling them here in the US.

Here's the link to their R&D blog. The ride quality is awesome and I'm excited to lower them on my current 19" wheels tomorrow. Pictures will soon follow!

Laid out - there were pics in there, just with the OEM wheels, not sure if you saw them.

Matt - Ha ha ha, seriously? Sporting a rudolph nose on your car? Ha ha ha ha. I'm shocked Tanabe would even post picts promoting these with this on the front! Where's the antlers?

Thanks! I dropped it yesterday on my current 19"s

Just waiting for them to settle a bit. So far, no rubbing issues, but I anticipate some rubbing of the front wheel liner once everything has settled.

The antlers were removed and placed in the back seat. That was the easy part. I assume they left the nose on since it may have been too difficult to remove. I have it wired in.

How's the alignment? Any issues with aligning it back to factory specs?
