Zangetsu · 05-04-2011, 01:12 PM

I was browsing on my facebook and saw tanabe posted something about CST coilovers... my friend works at a local shop says they are distributing this coilover brand from Japan... and happens to have an application for CR-Z ...

Anyone know about this coilovers? Somewhat interesting... this came out of nowhere for me =]

haha quite random that Tanabe would distribute those coilovers... I hear they're decent so idk

Indeed... that's the first thing I asked too. A suspension company distributing another company's product... HumMmmmmmmmm

spoke to Tanabe, they say they're just distributing for them... maybe they're just using it as another way of income... but the more I look at them the better they seem, they seem to me like a valid option if you're interested

oh fyi it appears we can get those for you

well, I'm going to be honest. I've never heard of those kind of coil-overs in my life.
And i have a bunch of buddies including my boyfriend which do not sponsor that brand.
I don't know why never planned on asking. lol But If I were you I would go with K- Sport that is what i have. The ride is tremendously smooth and they have awesome handling when i sometimes like to take my turns or you as might as well go with BC racing as of what my boyfriend has on his Mazda Speed 3.

.... hmmm... maybe I should try em. If tanabe approves... then it might be worth it. Umm.. Kami... can you PM me pricing??

SennaFan · 05-05-2011, 06:46 PM

why would Tanabe distribute a company that would be a direct competition to their coilover? what are the differences?

I think they're just trying to get another source of income... but I'm not %100 sure

Zangetsu: I'll PM you a price a little later when Tanabe opens (I'm not sure what discount I get on those)

SennaFan · 05-06-2011, 01:12 PM

found this on their website. monotube seems to be the difference because the tanabe ones are twintube
