Default Tanabe Coilovers

I was noticing Tanabe has coilovers for our car, but i can't find any mention of them on the forums. Has anybody tried them out yet? Maybe they are too new. Does anybody have experience with other tanabe coilovers?

Wonder when these came out???
I'll call up Reggie today, however it looks like our aftermarket "market" is branching out slowly but shortly.

Spoke with Tanabe. They don't officially fit for awd, however they're trying to get a test car in.

I wonder how it will work with the TEAS system. I've been waiting for these to come out.

I was thinking to myself that all it would need is to tap into a speed signal. Wouldn't be too hard. Making me very curious.
