Default Tanabe Sustec Pro 5

Hi guys,

i just got myself a set of tanabe sustec pro 5, and am gonna install it next week. My question to you guys who have these coilovers on or those who know something about this matter, what settings do you guys have on? The height and stiffness etc... I am currently running on a 19" wheels with Tein S and would like to lower the car more. Your inputs are much appreciated. Thanks

Btw, i just moved from the bay area to Bloomington, IN. Kinda having trouble finding a good bodyshop, do any of you here know any good bodyshop in Bloomington or Indianapolis maybe? Thank you very much

Any chance you are going to IU?

Anyway, there used to be a shop in Indianapolis that we frequent. One of the better ones around there. I think it is called SCC, Been 8 yrs since I been there. Not sure if they are still around. Else, you will have to head to Ohio for Passen Motorsport.

All the best!

coilovers will ALWAYS be stiffer, a lot stiffer than stock suspension set-up.

are you positive? aren't coilovers adjustable in dampening and rebound?
