When you think of high quality suspension products, the company Tanabe should surely come to mind. Tanabe springs are among the strongest springs available for automotive us. Their springs are created using some of the most advanced methods and machinery out there in the world today. Tanabe is one of the only manufacturers who have obtained the world quality manufacturing certification ISO9001.
The GF210 coil spring is geared toward maximum performance without compromising daily drivability. A subtle drop provides an aggressive stance, while the higher spring rates provide extraordinary handling and vehicle stability traits. Once installed, these springs provide a very noticeable gain in performance. The GF210 is well-mated with a performance shock upgrade to extract the full potential of the coil spring. However, these springs will also work with factory equipment. Sustec 210 Technology is a series of manufacturing methods developed in order to create a stronger, thinner and more lightweight spring using only high tensile steel, without adding additional elements that could affect quality, durability or affordability. The numerical value “210” stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever achieved in a coil spring!
