Default FS: OEM Shocks w/ Tanabe Springs

The shocks have about 40K miles on them and the Tanabe springs have about 10K miles on them. The springs lower the car about 1.5". They work perfectly fine...I'm selling because I upgraded to some Buddy Club coilovers. Here's a picture of one of the rears and one of the fronts. Make me an offer

It's basically the same as stock... Just a little bit stiffer and lowers the car about 1.5"

I got the same setup, they acutally lower your car .8inchs front and back.

how do the buddy club coilovers compare to what you're selling? I was in the market for buddy club or megan coilovers. by the way good luck selling the other set up.

The Buddy Club's are definitely stiffer than the oem shocks/tanabe springs set up... But the BC's are not bone jarring at all. IMO they are great coilovers. The quality is good, the price is awsome, and they improve the cars handling while giving it a more aggressive stance (getting rid of that ugly fender gap). Plus they allow you to lower the car by, I think, mm adjustments so you can get to exactly where you like it. I would definitely recommend them for street use, I'm not a hardcore tracker so I don't know how good they do on the track or anything...
