    i don't think it's so much that Tanabe sucks, I'm sure it doesn't.

    It's just a fact that the stock shocks & springs are matched. and if you replace the stock spring with any other spring, that's a good way to lower your car but the stock shocks are probably working harder now and don't be surprised if it fails prematurely.
    some people say that will happen in 1 yr or 2 .. me, I would like to keep an open mind.

    by then, you can probably get a set of aftermarket shocks, like Showa or something. but again, there's different permutation involved in matching the shocks to the springs.

    ALTERNATIVELY .. get coil-overs that have shocks & springs that are "made for each other" in addition to having different damping/height adjustability. ALSO .. you can keep your stock shocks & springs.

    JUS-10: Say .. do you know what's the difference between the Tein Wagon and your SW? is it just the Wagon lacking the shocks' damping adjustability?

    Yeah the SWs have dampening adjustment. The regular wagons are sooo soft.

    The SWs can't really be compared to the other models in the Tein range ( HAs for eg.) as they all ride like a rock even on the softer settings. You can make the SWs pretty damn firm, but they also offer a pretty complacent ride if you want. Most people say Jap coilovers are rockhard, but these are nothing like that. The ride quality seems to be more comparible to the Biltein coilovers that I had previously - comfy when you need it, and racey when you feel like some spirited driving as opposed chosing between hard or very f*ckin hard

    yes man
    those coilover is not for a passenger car as no one want to sat on my ride with those sussy
    lol
    IMO, i prefer get aftermarket shockers to go with yr springs
    match or not is not a BIG deal if u are not after serious track, it is enough and ride will be more comfort
