Tanabe or BC coilovers?

Which one will you get? I've seen a lot of good reviews about Tanabe but not so much on BC.

ive seen mixed reviews about tanabe with some saying it improves handling while others saying it does not. everyone seems to agree that tanabe gives a very comfortable ride though.

BC got a bad rap at first because of some rattling but it is my understanding that has been corrected. I have the first set of BC's on a G37. Been rockin them for a couple years now with no issues at all. IMO BC is the best for that price range. I dont think the Tanabes are 30 way adjustable like the BC's.

I would go with Tanabe Pro-S0c... definitely feel the difference without sacrificing the comfort.

I have BC's on the sedan, about 1k miles now and couldn't be happier at this point. It was a bit rough the first couple hundred miles, at 15 clicks, but have smoothed out since.

No creaks, rattles, groans or squeaks to talk of.

Right now i have it set to 20 clicks* front and back, and it rides better, smoother and reacts to roads irregularities better than the OEM "sport" suspension.

*0 clicks = full hard, 30 clicks = full soft

what are you looking for from your coils?

i have bc's on the way because they gave me the 12/10 spring rate i wanted, they are linear and come with extenders so i can adjust for the track and street. really looking forward to getting them on.
