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.

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 
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 **** because the wheels hug the shitty road. Get on a nice section of motorway and your gone. **** 120 in Desiree (my EJ) feels like 50. No body roll, no pull at higher speeds, like I said I couldn't be happier.
