i have them. fully slammed all around. the ride comfort is spot on, i swear they are better than OEM to me. they go low enough and they are seriously the best bang for your buck out there. the springs they come with are kinda soft tho so if you're planning to ride hellaflush, you WILL rub even on the stiffest settings. i didnt buy it with TEAS so i have nothing on that.

very well said. im riding flush and its soft with the stiffest settings. i've been on them for over a year and no problems. im gonna change out the springs soon for stiffer rates. people like to say that these dont go low because everyone is running megans or BCR. these go low enough so its suitable for you to get around. the spring rates are 10kg front and 7kg rear.


As for TEAS, all I know is that it automatically changes damper settings according to how fast you're going. without the TEAS there are 12 damping levels and with TEAS its 16.

Hi steezy, what spring are planning to put on to make stiffer. I hate rubbing issue lol. Do tanabe offer different spring rate when you buy them. I'm really leaning on picking this up with Teas. My other option is BCR. I just want to make the right choice=] thank everybody again for great info. Everybody have a great day!! August
