tanabe SUSTEC GF210 springs

on horsepowerfreaks.com it says that these are for turbo models, will these work for a NA ??? - reason i ask is because on ebay they sell them as "fits all 86-92" i just wanted to clarify.. plus they look like nice springs.


thanks,
cam


also, anyone have any info on the tein s-tech? - they seem like a good price, but i dont wanna waste my money.. i want a nice stiff spring to start drifting with

those tanabes will work i think. I heard that tanabe springs are good for track and drift events. Tein s techs are softer and are more for street use from what ive heard.

No, he means finding a store that will be able to get them to you. I ordered a set one time, and the place never got back to me, so when I contacted them they said that they didn't carry them anymore, so then I ordered them from RXecret7.com, and they said that they'd have to special order them from Japan and that it could take anywhere from a month to three months. I've searched around for a long time (and I'm sure if you searched Tanabe GF210 on the forum, a post started by me would pop up) for a shop that has them, and it's been to no avail. Now, I'm in the market for TEIN S-Tech's. They're one of the leading suspension company's in Japan, and the springs lower the car about the same amount as the Tanabe's. Also, I've heard that the TEIN's are plenty stiff, but not as stiff as the Tanabe's.

If you want to wait, by all means, get the Tanabe's, but I think you'd be just as happy with TEIN's, and they're much more accesible.
