The only things i dislike about tanabe is the rear coil over uses the OEM top hat, bump stop, and when adjusting the dampening...You can turn it whichever way it will not stop, it's hard to know what setting you are on. Getting the TEAS is a MUST!

Tanabe has a good setup for the street, and the TEAS is popular.

If you need pricing or have any questions feel free to PM us

Getting 20s won't improve your ride either.
