I sent Tanabe USA an email about the springs availability for the 4G.

I received a response from them 10 minutes ago saying the following:

"We will be doing R&D on this car in June"

Looks like a few more months.

The springs will be available in late fall per Tanabe. R&D is done in Japan but they still need to run production on them.

Hopefully not too late in the fall, becuase here in the Northeast late fall/winter is no time to think about dropping your car!!! Whoever come out with a good set of springs first, I will buy them.

Very disappointed in Tanabe and I'm thinking of dumping my springs to coils or bags. Product is pretty solid but the customer experience is very lacking. If I have a product and am to be recommending them I rather support a company that supports me.

I would like to see these installed on a non f-sport.
Tanabe only tested on f-sport.

Can't wait to see the results!
