Need some opinions - TEIN/TANABE?

[G221]

Guys,
need some opinions...which one is better in terms of handling, comfort, etc?

Tein S-tech or Tanabe GF210? both are suitable with stock absorbers. price wise...almost the same...any other suggestions?

Bro..what size is yr wheels and do you normally drive around with 4-5 ppl in the car?
Reason I ask is when u lower yr altezza, scratching of your car bottom will be a headache especially over our infamous Malaysian road humps with unstandardised height and width...

Tanabe is more comfortable and good handling...Tein is harder...Base on my experience...

Bro Greytezza, 17"...Normally with 3-4 ppl...yes I understand the problems when lowering the car, but I think the stock springs are a bit soft. Or do u suggest to maintain the stock springs and go with aftermarket absorbers?

G221..For a 17" wheel, I suggest just changing the shocks and maintain the ori springs..a harder setting shocks with the ori springs will work for daily driving.
But end of the day, it is still yr decision...

alright..thanks guys!!!...will think about it.

normally people change springs. i think very rare people change absorber without the springs..
springs adjust height only...supports the chassis. actual "suspension" work is done by the absorber.
altezza is soft mostly due to the absorber. so if u want firmer ride but do not want to spend too much, i recommend to change the springs...but not the other way round. even better is to change both so that they are compatible with each other..
