Cool tanabe sustec pro

a friend of mine has the pro-five coilovers from tanabe and i got to ride around after installation. it was fairly easy after removing the backseat. just thought i would let everyone know how smooth and nice the ride quality is. with about an inch of threading left the ride had a significantly lowered stance but was still comfortable and smooth on soft setting and when unit stiffens the ride is greatly improved. he had the TEAS installed on it as well, everything was clearly labelled on all wires at both ends (TEAS box side and motor side) so there was no mistaking parts for easy plug and play. With the "active mode" turned on we hit the freeway and streets. the TEAS took absolute control of the dampening and adjusted to every type of driving we took, it adjusted 12x as we sped through the gears and you can actually feel the changes in dampening from soft to hard. here's a pic of that little box.



was wondering if anyone else had the same outcome?

I am waiting for mines to arrive and heard great things about them. Currently there is a back order of about 3 weeks with tanabe and I'm waiting patiently. I'll post pics when I do get them installed. My fat setup tires are also arriving in about 2-3 weeks. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".

No problem. Good things are worth waiting for. I'll be riding high until they arrive.
