ok, when i was doin a sneak peak on prices of lowering springs.. one of the shops that i came across with said that tanabe's are much better springs for japanese cars. He also said that h&r's are used for european vehicles and it is stiffer compared to the japanese counterpart..

1. is this true? im thinkin of what springs to buy, now im confuse... h&r's or tanabe? which one... guys out there who has first hand experience on these products opinion needed...

2. btw the cheapest tanabe's i know is 9.6k and according to makna h&r's 13.5k anyone know a place where both products are cheaper to buy?

it depends. on a civic (EK), maganda ang ride ng tanabe. sa mga lancer, galant, maganda ride ng H&R.

H&R products are awesome. they, after all, are one of the pioneers in this industry and the quality shows. it's true that they tend to be stiffer, though.

no personal experience with Tanabe.

You might get a better deal buying from a retailer who has equipment and expert installers. Unless you will install it yourself or Makna has the capability as well.
