Tanabe springs are excellent, just slightly on the expensive side usually. I met Mr Tanabe himself a while back, had dinner with him and a couple other people...a very cool guy (and stinking rich too!).

He had recently bought a spring winding machine from Germany, the best one available, for some 7 digit price. The spring quality is easily comparable to Eibach if not better, as Japanese steel is of very high quality these days, and of course it is being wound on the same German machinery.

On the same note, the Eibach and H&R are also nice, Eibachs will sit the rear down a little more, while the H&R will give a slightly more nose down drop.

We sell all of them, let us know if you have any other questions!
