Tanabe vs TEINS coilover
I am sure the name Tanabe sustec pro 7 and the TEIN Flex are no strangers to everyone out there. What I need to know is any comment on the above systems as to which one is better in terms of track driving and also how much does the sytem cost in singapore and where is the best place to get them done ? Your advise is much appreciated ...

the Complete Tein Flex + controller is $2700.
I would love to have the Tanabe cos it can auto adjust the suspension according to the speed of the car, but TOO EXPENSIVE.

Yeah I am looking at track driving coz I think for street driving I dun even need to upgrade the suspension ... as with the aftermarket sway-bar is more than sufficient to cope with any bends here on the open rds. Any recommendation on coilover for track?

Great Help guys .... at least now I can sort of have the idea of what I really need even with the extra amt I need to pay. In that case the Tanabe should be a good choice. Sat in my frens cusco zero 2 R the other day and the ride is surprising soft for a track suspension in his EVO.
