Default Sustec Pro Five

I've done some searching already and haven't found anything recent on these coilovers. Any more of you out there running these coilovers? If so, how do you like them?

Thanks,
-Tony

Surely there's someone on this board with a 3GS that's running these?

Seems like it's either floaty or harsh at both ends of the spectrum. Might not be so bad half way in the middle.

I purchased the Pro fives and installed 2 days ago. I am running Michelin (super square) 295/25-20 and 243/35-20. The suspension is all the way down on the rear and 5 turns up on the front. It is set on medium setting for dampening and it rides incredible. As for the wheels I am running 9" front and 10.5" rear. Only rubbing i have is front plastic where bumper support is located at about 3 oclock position (pass side). I was between the Megans, Tein and Tanabe and am extreemely happy with the Tanabe's.Good luck. I will post some pictures soon. BTW I did cut rear fenders and slight rol and tab odification on fronts.

Thanks Empani, for the feedback. Do you know how these ride in comparison to Tanabe DF210's (if you've ever ridden in a GS with them)? Also, do you have the TEAS?

I can not comment on the DF210's not sure of the ride. I am more of a comfort city driver, so I did not purchase the TEAS either. sorry.[IMG][/IMG]

Errr? This if the first I've heard of it doing this. Are you sure about that? My understanding is that it's user-directed to change any settings.

I have the Pro Five going on 2 years now and its been fine. I first had it on medium for the first couple weeks but the ride was still too harsh for me so I set it soft. Its a lot closer to the factory ride at soft.
