ive been into ksport for the past few months. every once in a while i come across a person who says bad things about it.
supposedly they are alot stiffer than tein ss's

i remember researching tanabes. i never go into them for some reason.

would this group buy be for the SOC II? do they have front and rear adj. camber plates?

i dont know yet

i am doing suspension work in may. if i decide not to go with ksports you can seriously put me down for the gb.

the tanabes dont only have a solid plate in the back and on the front they use the stock ones. airfron and i have both got our hands on cusco upper pillowball mount camper plates for the front.

and yes this would be for the SOC'S still trying to find prices on both the type one (no helper) and the type two's helper spring.

i gave up on the super vip auto shop on valley david is a nice guy but to busy. Im guna call up evasive and if that doesnt work out im going with jeffs guy.... cus i need them now.

those camber plates are pricey. but i guess if u get the coilovers for cheaper it would all add up in the end

Adjustability
Front-1/2~-2 1/2in

Rear -1/4~-2in

Spring Rate in kg/mm
FR 8.0
Rear 6.0

Adjustable camber plates are not necessary as these would bolt on to your stock mounts as well, but would be useful . I got mine for ~$250 from >>here>>

As far as shipping to canada... i don't know exactly how that would work out. I think that we would have to recieve them from lewfx and then ship them to you. so it'd take a little longer.

so is that three sets??? perhaps we should put a group buy together in the FS section??? aaron what do u think?

airfron

#43

For a GB in the FS section we'd have to get coomers approval through one of the mod and if we do set up a GB everything would be through Jeff so he'd have to be included in it.

But it might get more interest sparked because more people look at the Buying/Selling area.

I'd say go for it

the rears come with a solid aluminum mount and the fronts do not come with any as the stock ones can be used.

W00T!!! i got a check from good ol george and am back in this if you guys are willing to get the type 1's.


I did some reading and stuffs and found out that the type 1's are more to my liking for street conditions, as they do have the helper spring to assist the assembly. The type 1's are also significantly cheaper than the type 2's. Which i hope is not an error on tanabe's part, because the type ii's are supposed to be the budget model of the two models available for the 94-99 celica.

From http://tanabe-usa.com/

Type I
Celica (ST202) 94-99 8.0 / 6.0 -1/2~-2 1/2in / -1/4~-2in TSC083 $990.00

Type II
Celica (ST202) 94-99 8.0 / 6.0 -1/2~-2 1/2in / -1/4~-2in TSC083X $1,200.00

I also spoke to LEWFX and he estimated that the prices for these would be as follows. (These prices are based on a GB of a minimum of three sets.)

Type I : $872

TypeII : $1075

And if anyone is interested in ordering some extra springs for the tanabe pro 210 coilover system as well as the helper springs, here is a link that has some at a great price Click Me.

i had been thinking for a month now about going with type 1's for the helper spring and if it is ture that they are cheaper then the type twos then i for sure will be getting the helper spring type 1 model.

so aaron does this mean ur back on the g/b???? if you are thats three ppl and we should order it asap so we can have them for the summer.
