We do have a price, but so far it only for the UCF20 application (LS400)
The suspension is going for $3,900.00. My guess is that the other ones will be similiar price range. Right now we are waiting to see what other apllications are available and the pricing.
Also , these are going to be sold with no warranty or exchange. Since these were never made for the US market, if you decide to purchase a set, you do so knowing that there will be no warranty, echange, or return of funds paid.
So as soon as I get the pricing for LS430 and GS 98-05 I will post up here.

Well see the thing is this is suspension will never be sold in the US. Its not made for our market, the pics were posted and people wanted to know can they obtain it. So Tanabe says sure well get it for you, but since its not meant for your market, it cant carry in of the warranties that there other products carry. Sorry.

if its over 4k, screw it. I'll just buy one in Japan and ship it myself.

^free S/H to my house in Tokyo and warranty for broken bags for 1yr/30k km. S/H to here with SAL should be like 300-400 probably at the most. I'll buy one after I graduate in like 1.5 year.

i talked to someone that has had a 16 Aristo and the tanabe cobra for over 2 years but it sounded like its pretty crappy. she had to return them back when she first got it due to defect, rear had to be overhauled, bag blew, air leaked on a few occasion, suspension isn't that sporty, and doesnt lower it by that much (especially the rear) even with her SS.
it supposively works great for wagons (but still doesnt lower that much) though.
and pic of her Aristo with Corbra+SS

It has not been officially tested in the US, as we did not intend this to be a suspension for the N. American market. If the support from the Second Gen community is strong enough, we will definitely look into testing these and having them available through the forum vendors.
