Yes I had the old Tanabe Super Down Precedeo(sp?) 2" lowering springs on my 96 Accord ex sedan and I loved them. I had them teamed up with KYB AGX's and it was a damn good ride. I loved the drop, to me it was the perfect drop and it had my favorite honda look where the front looked like it sat alittle lower than the rear, and the ride was damn good, I was running on setting 3 in front, and 6 in the rear, it was nice and stiff, but I like my suspension to be good and stiff. I was the first one around my area to use Tanabe springs that I know of and I loved them, and still have them, but don't have the car. My friend also has Tanabe springs but grip feeling for his Integra with AGX's and it looks very nice and rides good and has the same look. To me I love anything that Tanabe makes and I wouldn't buy anything else! Tanabe makes some of the best Suspension parts you can buy in Japan. I will post up a picture of my 96 sedan ex for you if I can find one to show you what the drop looks like.

Okay here you go these are a few pictures of my old Accord with Tanabe 2" lowering springs, but I put her all back to stock and sold her for my hatch.















Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply, still debating on the tein or the tanabe, its for my girl and it rides good now and i want to keep it that way, its the vacation cruiser, but i want to take away some of the wheel gap, just put a set of 15 inch accord wheels instead of the hubbies with 196 60 15's looks so much better, anyways thanks again for the response i like the height of your old accord.

Ive got the s tech's on my hatch, kinda stiff but the height is just right for me, but im wondering on a car that weighs twice as much, im wondering how well they do or if the tanabe's are better.
