Hello Everyone,

Last June, we held an R&D Session at our Torrance, California location to test brand new parts for aftermarket tuning.
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/rndnews.asp

Our next R&D Session is coming soon, and we'd like to know what suspension, chassis, and exhaust parts you'd be interestd in seeing for future productions.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with us, Tanabe is a longtime manufacturer of springs, coilovers, exhaust systems, and chassis bracing for Japanese cars.

That said, what parts would you guys be interested in seeing in the future? The application doesn't have to be specific to the chassis of this forum btw.

 

IS-F exhaust/parts.

 

for the GS450h:
- exhaust tips
- NF210 lowering springs (or at least label current NF210 springs for GS430 as compatible for the 450h)
- quieter exhaust system (no droning if at all possible)
- sways
- coilovers (or at least label coilovers for GS430 as compatible for the 450h)

 

SPRINGS or COILOVERS for IS250AWD!!! PLZ

 

air-ride...

tanabe has the Pro Aircobra over in japan why not have something like that in the US....

 

camber kit and a quieter exhaust that doesnt drone.

 

I think this "channel" pipe would be great for everyone if it was made into a universal exhaust part with ranging sizes from 4.5" to 6" (double 2.25" to 3"):

I've got my own homemade version of this and it sounds absolutely sick on stock mufflers. My friends say it sounds 350z-ish but with a lot of muscle in it.

 

Sway bars for the JZS147, aka 93-97 GS300. There is a very high demand for them on this forum. I realize it's a limited, and old, market segment but the availability of them and other parts would be great.

 

+1 for 3GS please

 

I do like my tanabe exhaust, but dislike the low speed and uphill droning. I guess there really is no real quiet exhaust. Its still better than hearing the wind noise and feeling like I am driving an electric car

 

exhaust without drone or lower drone and a chamber kit would be nice
