thank you
Vinh

I'm really happy you are making this thread. IMO S2ki severly lacks in this department. Check out 350z-tech http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Part:Springs

And the S2k has been around for how many years and we don't have anything like this. Ohh well. Anyway, I figured I'd help contribute to your post.

Anybody with price info please post where so it can be updated

Also, to the OP we differed with the Tanabe GF210, I ended up going to Tanabe's website and found the same 4.5/5.5, just wondering where your info came from. I don't want to be giving out the wrong info.

This will continue to be updated....
