OOO new product is this supposed to be a higher/lower model than the pro-c right now?

Or is it just the coilovers for the new gen Yaris

just got off the phone with Tanabe, sadly the max lowering on these is 2'' so only 0.25 lower than the S-0C and their msrp is close to $2K :iono:

For lowering, yes. For performance, the new Tanabe coilovers offer damping and pre-load adjustments. It's an upgrade from their street coilovers, which have neither.

looking into these coilovers as well. I'm not looking for just how low it can take my car. Just wondering if these are worth the extra money.

Just some thoughts from a major novice...

I can tell you that these at their lowest setting, at least in the front, are no lower than Eibach Pros (I have the Eibach pros and Tokico reds), so I wouldn't get them.

If I were going to start over, I would get coilovers that lower at least 3 inches max and have dampening adjustments.

The dampening adjustments are unbelievable on the Tokico reds, so I cannot imagine not having that flexibility.

I believe at this point, I will likely let go of the Eibach Pros for set of springs that lower me another inch, but time will tell as the ride I have now is unbelievable, especially with the Tokicos adjusted to just above full soft; and I sense that the great ride comfort I have is a combination of the Eibachs and the Tokicos working in harmony.
