Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Type II



Tanabe







Bringing performance to the street while maximizing ride comfort was the goal of the Sustec Pro S-0C. For those who desire performance, comfort, and the overall benefits of coil over suspensions at an affordable value, we are now offering the S-0C Type II without helper springs.

Street-tuned Coil-Over Suspension System Kit engineered to deliver a comfortable ride.


Rubber Upper Mount (optional)
Optional upper mounts with rubber inserts absorb vibration and shock are a great upgrade over stock rubber upper mounts that improve handling and response.

Short Stroke / Short Case Design
S-S and S-0 are designed with a short stroke / short case shock absorbers that deliver superior handling without sacrificing strength or ride comfort.

Sustec PRO210 Series Competition Spec Springs
Tanabe's own PRO210 Series Springs have superior strength and durability that is achieved through our state-of-the-art manufacturing process. This allows the springs to have a tensile strength of 2100N/mm. *For the professional suspension tuner, different spring rate sets are available for special suspension tuning.

Double-cylinder Low Pressure Gas Design
The proven double-cylinder design allows for a full stroke within the extremely short case shock body. Low-pressure gases ensure a smoother rebound for additional ride comfort.

This part is suitable for the following models:
GS300

1998-2000
2001-2005
GS400

1998-2000

Try the "Search" function here in the suspension forum. The same question has been asked before.

There have been a few discussions about these over the past year.

I'm sure the Tanabe coilovers are fine quality wise, they are just on the stiff side.

In this list, they are rated at 14/12, same as the Ohlins and Falcon v1-

You ought to respond to this thread and ask Ebruce2 about his Tanabe's. He is using the Tanabe Sustec Pro II Coilovers-
