Tanabe lowering springs

[sirgeorgee]

Hi all

I am thinking to buy new springs cause my 20 year old ones are in a bad shape.
I checked black Eibach but here in this country we have very shitty roads so that gonna be to low for me.

After that I found some nice red Tanabe lowering springs -those will be much better for me

My question is :
Anybody uses these red TANABE lowering springs on the MK3?
Would you be so kind if the answer is yes to write me the experience with these springs -how good are they?

Thanks

George

How big of a drop do you want? Could you afford coilovers? Street only car? How do you want it to ride, firm, soft?

I've got them on my car. Pair them up to a good set of shocks and you should be golden. They are also fairly light compared to other springs which is nice. The spring rates aren't as high as some of the other offerings so you won't punish your kidneys too badly on rough roads. Get a good set of sway bars in addition to the springs and cornering won't be a problem.

Hi Alec

I wish to ride her firm.I will have my KONI s upgraded to be really tough -so I will have the coilover part solved .
Thinking on new aftermarket sway bars also if you have any idea which to choose from your own experience I will be more than happy to listen...

Actually I do not want any drop ,but if I choose any aftermarket springs all will drop her.
I was thinking about TANABE because those has only a minimal drop Front 3 cms back 1,524 cms...

Yes I really wish to have the black Eibach springs but in this country It would be equal to go by foot everywhere...
I can not drop the front with 4 cms....
