Which tanabe springs to buy?

[SilviaSR20DET]

Should i get the tanabe super H springs or the super down precedeo springs? What are the differences between the two of them? Thank you

I think that depends on how low you want the car? IIRC, these are kind of like Tanabe's version of the Pro-kit and Sportlines, meaning that one drops the car more (The Super Down Precedo's I think drop down to like 2" while the Super H's are more like a 1.5" drop, but honestly I don't know much about either spring, so somebody with more knowledge on these springs should be able to truly help you out. Of course you could also try checking the Tanabe website about those springs.

I used to have super H. they have a rather stiff spring rate when compared to other springs, they lower about the same as pro kits, they are also setup for more oversteer since the rear springs are stiffer than the fronts (i think.. correct me if my theory is wrong).

They didn't lower enough so I went with something else.

Super Down lower more but the springs are a lot softer than the Super H.

so pretty much function vs form in this case. If you dont go to the track very often and just want better looks definitely super downs.

Grant, other than looks, how did you like those Super H's? Did you drive the car hard (aggressively)? Yeah, those are the weird springs that actually have a stiffer rate in the rear than in the front (which most other springs are).

Is that your car in your sig? Is that with the Super H's on or another spring/coilover setup?
