Default Experience with tanabe sustec S-OC coilovers?

Hey all. Got an opportunity to ****** some (seemingly) good coilovers at an awesome price through nigel. Anybody had/heard of good or bad experiences with these tanabe coilovers? they seem like a great alternative to the higher priced sets.

Good question !! i sure would like to know also. My boss has a set for his 95 Supra TT with only 1000 miles on it, thinking of buying it off him if they are good for my 99GS400.

they will not work on your gs, however they are probably similar so see what he thinks of them.

hey bro,

all i've heard is that they're stifffff. but i haven't experienced them first hand. i think the downside to them is that they're max drop is -1.5" but I don't know if that's really 1.5" lower than stock. This link looks a lot lower than a 1.5" drop:
