i think the ride is pretty good not bouncy for me at all. i have ridden in bouncy cars and this setup isn't near stock in that regard.

I have set of kyb shocks to fit to my 93, and looking at tanabe springs as a choice, but can anyone tell me if i will have rubbing issues on the stock 16" rims or any other rims as long as they are the same offset as stock. sorry if i highjacked this thread but it will answer all my questions in one go. Regards to you all from over the pond.

Certainly most of us with spring/strut set up will admit coilovers are definitely the way to go unless budget is a concern. For the record I bought Tanabe's with Bilstein HD's and got at least a 2" drop if not more. I did not like the springs. They were too soft for me so I removed them and installed my H&R's. I think the Tanabe's are as close to OEM as you can get. I would say 9 out of 10 if not a solid 10. Keep in mind though Bilstein HD's are valved more aggressively than others and have (2) spring perches which give up to an additional 1" drop. They don;t recommend using them with more than 1" drop but so far mine have lasted for a few years without blowing.
If you want an OEM ride then Tanabe is your best bet for sure. Definitely the KYB's will give an OEM like ride especially when compared to Bilstein HD.

Happy New Year to all! I'm putting some tanabe springs on my '92 ls4 with kyb shocks and 18s (18.8, +40mm wheels- 235/40/18 michelins). Will i need any coilovers and my fenders rolled?

Picture Request! UCF20 with Tanabe Springs and STOCK Struts
Some of you may have seen that I was disapointed with my Tanabe springs in the fact that I have a huge arch gap still. My stock shocks keep getting blamed as it seems that the pictures I've compared it against were all running Bilstien adjustable stuts or similar.
I'm interested in any pics on the springs install on stock level/hight stuts please!
