Default New Tanabe Z40 Coilovers

Check it out. I just found this on the Tanabe USA R&D blog.



Still a dual tube shock for comfort and its 40 WAY DAMPENING!!!



Here's the lowest settings. I think it's subtle. Im thinking these are gonna be the standard 10kg and 8kg spring rates. Maybe you can go custom?

Just giving you guys a heads up on quality coilovers.

Dual Tube? Should have been mono tube for better damping capacity.

Cool nice find. Hmm, color scheme resembles Megan LP's. Kinda wished my BC's were more colorful like these than just being black and gold. Yes, I don't look down there too often, bit when I do, the color is so bland..
