Anyone have any experience with Tanabe Suspension in a 92-95 civic hatch?
 
I am contemplating buying a full coilover set from Tanabe to suit my autocross aspirations and daily driving. I had a set of springs with them and was totally impressed with the change in drivability. Any input would be nice.

Sturt bars work well, look good too.

I've always used the OEM strut bars from the GSR so I wouldn't know but I would love to know if someone has had actual experience with them. I read one post (yes I searched) that said one guy had issues with speed bumps but I was hoping for something a little more in depth.

I had Tanabe put together a custom spring rate coilover setup. Similiar to the Sustec SS Type-II just different springs. I have not been more satisfied with any single purchase up to this point. Well worth every penny and then some. With that damper all the way up it rides like a champ. I have all 4 tie bars, stock front sway, poly-u bushings and then the Tanabe kit. I have like 0 body roll. All I need now is better rubber to really extract the full potential of my suspension setup. Tanabe is https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif in my book. So much that I'm also gonna get the upper pillow-ball mounts and the Ultra-Medallion exhaust.. Enjoy

Your name suits you, haha. Thanks for the help....I've already experienced Tanabe products I just wanted to see if there "stock" spring rates were drivable on the streets.

The "stock" springs on any of their kits are certainly streetable. I mean like with any suspension upgrade, a shitty road will make the car seem like its riding like shit because the wheels hug the shitty road. Get on a nice section of motorway and your gone. Shit 120 in Desiree (my EJ) feels like 50. No body roll, no pull at higher speeds, like I said I couldn't be happier. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif
