Sustec Super Down Precedeo, is anyone actually running these right now? i'd like to hear comments from owners who have experience with the performance of these springs.

they're claiming a full 2" drop, mighty tempting. plus for $225, it's even more tempting.

i'd really appreciate a picture if anyone has one plus any feedback. thanks.

i'm running them. mighty sweet look. great performance. i might go back to H&R only b/c my driveway has a bit of an incline & i sometimes scratch the bottom of the car. i go extremely slow so as to try to avoid it or minimize.

so i might sell'em to you if you want. i ahve had them in the car for 1 week.

thanks for the info. my disposable$ is all tied up in this borla group buy right now, it'll be a little while before i do the suspension. i'll keep it in mind tho. a couple other questions,

is your dwy the only place it bottoms out or does it do it in other places too like at gas station dwy's, etc...

how's the ride, stiff, soft, neutral?

i assume you went with bilsteins or are these on the stock struts?

i'm real curious to know how it looks with the stock 17's if you can post a pic of the wheel wells with them i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks.

I have 19s and the Tanabe's have an UNBELIEVABLE LOOK! I love it .

They ride well and there is no wheel well gap in rear and only a bit in front, Mean LOOK!!

I would consider selling them for $250.

Peace,

Ted
