Thumbs down Tanabe Lowering Springs?

Hey everyone,

I was looking around for springs that will give me a decently low drop. More than simply an inch all around.

I stumbled accross the following and was wondering what some people here might have to say about them and if anyone here actually has them on their S2000.

I'm interested in mounting them on my 2001 S2000


Tanabe Springs - 159.99$USD

Any information is helpful

Thanks everyone

-Paul

DON'T BUY TANABE SPRINGS!!!
They dropped it too low in the back and too high in the front. I had them checked to make sure they were installed correctly. Ended up buying ground control coilovers so I could put them where I wanted. Looks great! If you must get springs, go H&R or Eibach.

KG/MM are as low as you can go with springs. If you want it slammed, you need to go with coil overs.
