Default WTB Tanabe Lowering Springs

I am looking for a set of Tanabe Lowering Springs for my 93' GS 300. I have looked on Ebay and called TM Engineering and no one seems to have any in stock and their supplier has the springs on backorder (3 weeks or more )

Does anyone know of a source which has these in stock at a good price? I want the 1.8 drop that these springs are suppose to have and everyone I have read says they ride good too. But I would be willing to go with a substitute if the drop is the same.

Thanks.

I appreciate the link Shoaf213, but my problem is not finding a place that sells the springs but a place that has them in stock. I contacted the company on your link and they stated that they don't have them in stock and it will be at least 7 days before their suppler has them.

You are too quick to judge, I have tried. Answers are not as obvious as they seem.

Have you tried any of the forums sponsors and vendors like TM Engineering or Carson Toyota?

I haven't tried Carson but TM Engineering states they wont have them until 2 or 3 more weeks. If I am forced to wait that long I have other sources who will save me a little over $50. Everyone is waiting for Tanabe to have stock so I guess I am looking for someone who has a set on the shelf.

Default I found a set!

I finally found a new set of Tanabe DF210 for my GS3. I ordered them from www.autocarparts.com they had a set "in stock." Everyone else had a wait time of 2 -3 weeks. The springs were only $203 the total with UPS shipping was $230.44. This is in line with best pricing I found considering MSRP for the set is $290. Tim at autocarparts said he would ship the set out today.
