The thing needs a set of springs to set her off.

I am looking at the tanabe pro5 or pro7. It also comes with electronic damping control and I think it offers higher spring rates. I am going to check out the tein cs and compare. The longer we wait to mod the more options we have

I8A,
What's your reason for the switch from springs to coilovers? I understand the benefits and versatility of the Pro 5 but I guess I am more wondering if springs were a bad experience...

to me? springs with stock shocks will never be a good combo, ever. stock shocks are for stock springs, longer travel. with springs, the shocks will blow earlier and the dampening won't be right.

Holy GTR Batman!
Is it a Lexus or a GTLexus?
Just for giggles is right, it is sorta funny.
It's also kinda cool. I would love to see something like it at a show or running around a track.
