I've heard good things about the Tanabes, but decided against them because they are not adjustable.

Adjustable dampening FTW!! If you are going to be the least bit aggressive or run wide tires, I suggest getting adjustable coils.

Not everyone needs or wants adjustable damping. I've read numerous postive reviews on tanabe coilovers. OP you should search. This topic has been covered exactly a bazillion times.

im running on the tanabe coils. pretty good improvement over the stock shocks and not very uncomfortable either. only height adjustable, if you track your car you might need damping as well.

If you just want to adjust the ride height go for it.

I have had my tanabe's on for a few months now. They are stiffer than stock, but it is not uncomfortable. They are only height adjustable. I have mine around 25.75" all around which is pretty low, but not slammed. I drive my car everyday. I have driven through Baltimore and DC now and have been able to do so without problems. I would recommend them to anybody who wants affordable coilsovers.

I use the GF measurement device. If she doesn't complain about it being stiff and uncomfortable and can still do her make-up in the car then they can't be that stiff.
