Last June, we held an R&D Session at our Torrance, California location to test brand new parts for aftermarket tuning. http://www.tanabe-usa.com/rndnews.asp
Our next R&D Session is coming soon, and we'd like to know what suspension, chassis, and exhaust parts you'd be interestd in seeing for future productions.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with us, Tanabe is a longtime manufacturer of springs, coilovers, exhaust systems, and chassis bracing for Japanese cars.
That said, what parts would you guys be interested in seeing in the future? The application doesn't have to be specific to the chassis of this forum btw.

Braces the master cylinder. It stops you from putting stress on it by braking and using the clutch. When you push on the pedals, it puts all the stress on it. The black cylinder on the right hand side of your engine bay right on the firewall.

I would also like to see someone make (not sure if this would be tanabe's dept) a carbon fiber rear seat delete. basically something light weight to cover where the rear seats were for those who take out their rear seats for race purposes or whatever. Also if it would be possible to leave somesort of inserts in the bottom crease so that harnesses can still be ran back without having to hack at something.....IDK just a thought
i think i would like to see a four point strut bar with a master cylinder brace. it's gonna be affordable for most people...unlike a catback exhaust (1000+)
just a heads up to tanabe, mazdaspeed makes a 2 point strut bar with a mc brace. so price it accordingly! i'd like to see another option out there for sure.
and maybe another single exit exhaust? the only option out there right now is the hks hipower. and its pretty damn loud.
Here's the answer that I got from they're FB page:
Tanabe Racing Development USA
Though it was constructed very well and was very light, the market wasn't ready to pay the price for a full titanium exhaust at the time of its production. Instead of trying to find ways to manufacture the Ultra Medalion more cheaply, we chose to improve on our other exhaust lines, resulting in the creation of our current Medalion Touring, Concept G, and Concept G Blue exhausts.
Taking the strengths of the Ultra Medalion (strength and light-weightedness) and trying to implement them into the current SUS304 exhausts, we've managed to come to a good compromise between weight reduction, strength, overall performance, and price tag.
