Hello all, I have a set of Tanabe DF-210s sitting in my room that I purchased for my 93 GS300 prior to totaling it and now do not have a use. I was wondering if it would be possible to use them on my 1995 SC400 that is completely stock. IF possible, what would I need to make it happen?

I did a search and found a thread a few years back asking for SC to GS, but I am asking GS to SC. Thanks!

 

Not sure of this would help you, but I was able to put 1gen Gs coilovers into my sc.

also check Tanabe site and see if the part number are the same for sc and Gs.

 

Anyone else?

 

The rear end on the 1GS and the SC is identical, aside from 1GS shocks having a longer piston rod, the spring perch is at the same location and size.

The front of a 1GS and SC use different control arms so I'm not sure. But I have seen people with 1GS use SC lowering springs with success.

 

Tanabe does not make DF210's for the SC unfortunately that's why I am asking.


Does anyone know if I should attempt to put them on my stock shocks, buy some 1GS shocks or buy SC shocks?

 

If you put lowering springs on old worn shocks you're going to hate it. Don't just change a few components of a system, upgrade it entirely. Either get new upgrade shocks+springs bumpstops/dust covers and top hats or buy coilovers.
