Tanabe VS. Tein????
I am finally going to bite the bullet and get some coilovers.I have noticed that their is a big price difference between these two.I know the Tanabes go for $750 and the Teins $1500.NOw, why does teh teins cost double?Are they that much better?I neeed to know that because the Tanabes seem the way to go.What are the pro's and cons of each?Please help, I would hate to make the wrong decision and cost me so much!!Thanks

Check the models that you are looking at. Tein seems a bit more expensive but double the cost doesn't sound right if the models are similar in features (height adjustment, dampening adjustment, and upper pillow mounts rubber or metal or need to reuse your OEMs)
If you look at l-tunedparts.com and compare the features of the different tein and tanabe coilover systems it may help to make your decision. I can't speak too much about Tanabe but I really like my Tein suspension. for the additional couple hundred bucks they seem worth it to me. It appear that many of the CL members also run Tein as well from what I have seen.
Good luck on the coilover decision.
