Tanabe springs cool?

What about these tanabe springs? I know that a few of you guys have the tanabe springs so what do you think? There are two available, the natural feeling and the grip feeling. the natural is +10% and the grip is +20- 30% stiffer than the stock ride. The drop is 1.4 in the front and 1.2 in the rear. The set is about $200 tell me what you think. I know that Shag1 had some problems, but he quickly resolved them. Are they some good ones?

There a nice set of springs. They sit even. I have the stiffer ones and they still ride pretty smooth. Just remember to wrap the perch ends in tape or rubber so they don't make any noise.

So is the car tighter? Did you notice an elimination to body roll? Do the springs ever let the car hit the stops? Did you use stock shocks? How much. How long to install? I would love to have more info!!!

A is a bit tighter but the body roll is still there. Springs by themselves will never get rid of body roll. I cut about 2inches from the stops so I don't have any problems with hitting. I used stock struts and it took about an hour to install. Paid $130 for the springs and installed them myself on a rack.

Tanabe Springs are excellent in quality, though the sway bars will really make a noticeable difference in body roll
