Tanabe Pro S-OC coilover: thoughts?
 
Any one have these coilovesr yet besides Triples? Spring rates seem good for street driving but I was wondering if anyone is getting any kind of noises or clunking with them? Price is pretty good and you can go pretty low with them, just want to know if there are any problems with them at all. Also, what's exactly does the helper spring do?

Not sure about these, but I'm on BC BRs and they ride really well. As long as you aren't dumped like that car in the pic you shouldn't have any clunking or weird noises.

helper spring helps lower the shock piston so it can be in an optimal location of the shock stroke.

thanks for the info. Corner3, so it's basically just putting you into usuable shock travel? Also, can you add something like this to any coilover as long as you have the right specs/parts and shorter main springs?

Mostly any coilover. Many race type coilovers use these like Ohlins, KW, etc.

with coilovers you get what you pay for, plus brand name in certain cases... but anyways these are the type of coilovers that would be good for street and the occasional autocross event or something, so if that's what you're going for these would work well for you
