new electronic suspension system from Tanabe

[startrack]

It's a new programmable active suspension system.

from the specs it sounds very good, especially for us who are driving on track and road. You could have a pretty hard map for flat tracks and a way softer one for crappy British roads :lol:!

Sadly the coilovers are only available for the DC5, no EP3 yet...

Can't help but think these along with the Teins aren't as good as normal coilovers & a decent set-up....dunno why?

naaa... you're just afraid of computers mate! Sara Conors syndrome! :lol:

I dunno I don't have a good feel about teins either. Unit looks cheap.

This unit is more clever. and Tanabe is quality (from what I own and what I've read around).

I like the fact that you could have 4 maps, and set them to auto-change depending on the speed of the car. I think ultimately it should have a g-force sensor, so it could adjust the suspension for corner and breaking/accelerations too.

You can make the DC5 suspension fit an EP3, my EP3 has the HKS suspenion which is only made for the DC5

Thanks Sara!

I guess it's a matter of getting more info on the shocks and popping in to TGM for a chat !

You need to change the track rod ends and machine down the rear mounts to get it on an EP3, easy job really, I think Tom at TGM has done a few.
