Coilovers

Ok, I have just decided that the springs/shock combo is not good enough. After looking at Daizen's (drop way to low on the rear - (I have a killer system in the trunk) and JDM Espelir (good luck in finding) I have come to the conclusion that Coilovers are for me. Now....I'm looking at Tein CS w/EDFC or Tanabe S-OC's w/Helper springs. I just like MANY of you want a decent ride. I carry customers in my GS and don't want their teeth rattling when they ride in my car. I want a smooth ride and the capablity to drop the suspension to match my Silver L-Sportline Model 4's (19x8.5 and 19x9.5). Any Suggestions ?

Thanks...

i would go with the CS. i believe the tanabe is on the stiff side, no? the CS is very very soft but good performance, the ride is almost like stock

Thanks Rominl for the reply, that's what I was was thinking also. From what I have read, it's almost a no-brainer. Man I am SO tired of the 4x4 look on my 430. while the rear looks "ok" (with all of the weight I have in the trunk) the front looks like I have atleast 6 inches to work with.....

haha yeah, you need a drop. the CS doesn't have as much drop as say the flex or the HA, but it should be more than enough for your need
