another question..Lets say you are going about from 50-90 and cutting from lane to lane. The system is gonna tune the suspension to be more sport so will it affect the steering as you turn? Will it become stiffer than b4?

I shoud have post this earlier,

The first kit that r100s posted in here was installed in my car.
About month experience, soft setting is actually softer than stock,
if you change into Stiffer setting, its stiff, stiff. Medium setting was perfect
for me. I have seen other threads talking about TEIN VS TANABE, honestly had experience with Tein in different vehicle and I'd said both brands
are reputable, good quality, but if you want me to decide between two coilovers, I do go with Tanabe because of the better ride quality and TEAS Automatic eletronic controller

If you have question feel free to PM me or SECOND SUSTEC PRO FIVE
OWNER 'POCKY'

One set of SUSTEC Pro Five is left in US. (Until next shipment from Japan)

are these just speed sensitive or do they also stiffen independently depending on steering input?

Their height adjustable so there is really no reason to see them on the car, because for each user they are going to set up the ride height differently. By the way, very cool vid. Makes me want to the TEAS out.

TEAS in action..... Not so good video but better than none...


The unit makes cool beeing sound whenever it changes the setting but in the video you cant hear.

is there anyway you can disable/enable the "beeing" sound? I like how it does that but i can see myself getting annoyed at it at times...
