i might be getting a set of these and was wondering to those that have them how many miles youve used them for and wether or not youve had any issues w/ them. ill just be using them for daily driving, i dont drag or autox. i saw in some threads that ppl have had them for 10-15k miles w/ no issues, anyone longer than that? thanks

 

I've had mine for about 35,000 miles and absolutely no problems. Tanabe makes quality stuff.

 

sweet, anyone else?

 

Those were the ones I was looking into as well. I have heard nothing but good about them.

 

Those and the Hotchkis are the best springs for the Evo currently. I have the Hotchkis and couldn't be happier. But I'm saving up for some coilovers.

 

i just dont see the need to spend that much for coilovers if im not tracking or drag racing. i do nothing but daily driving and as long as they dont do any significant damage to stock shocks id rather spend 150-200$$ for springs. all im after is more aggressive look. if the time came and the shocks werent any good because of the springs then maybe id get a set of coilovers. just my 2cents.

 

hotchkins have the same drop(1.5f, 1.0r) as the tanabes right, i wonder if the spring rates are similar?

 

hotchkins is almost like stock spring rate and the tanabe is more aggressive

 

then the more aggressive one would be a better choice then sice the car is being lowered right?

 

it all depends what u wanna do..u can keep the stock handling with hotchkiss or get better handling with tanabe's...

 

I've had 'em for almost 5K miles and I absolutely love them. My car is also a daily driver and unlike some springs that beat you up on the road, these dont. Ride height and handling are great. Not to mention a great manufacturer and the price isnt too bad either.
