Tanabe GF Springs

Has anyone heard/used these springs. They look enticing for the price, amount of drop I want, and JDM appeal. I think alot of Subie and 350z owners use them and vouch for them. Any comments would help thanks...

I can vouch on all Tanabes products. I've sold alot of those springs already, no problems.

If you're interested on getting one let me know.

I don't think you need a camber kit. They are similar to the Tein H-Techs, they both lower 0.6/0.8 inches.

Oh.. I would like to second the shipping to Canada for the R18 as well!

How do these work on the non-Si sedans? Have you had anyone put these on a sedan? I called Tanabe USA, and they told me that they haven't tested them on a sedan yet.

I'm hoping that you could help out on this.

Thanks,
Brian
