Tanabe USA Part Review

So Tanabe used my car for some R&D and so far the car feels 110% better! :thumb up:

Here's there site if you wanted to get more info about this awesome company!

http://www.tanabe-usa.com/

List of parts they added on my BRZ.

:TANABE MOD LIST:

*MEDALION TOURING EXHAUST SYSTEM (ONLY BRZ IN US WITH BLUE TIPS)
*SUSTEC PRO Z40 COILOVERS
*SUSTEC FRONT AND REAR SWAY BARS
*TANABE DOUBLE FRONT STRUT BAR AND REAR (SINGLE)










Exhaust Test:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgQI46Atbkk"]Subaru BRZ Tanabe MEDALION EXHAUST - YouTube[/ame]

Review!

Coilovers feel strong and stiff! best coils I've owned since a long time. I've tried different types of coils in my past life and there's nothing to compare to these coils!

Sustec Z40 Coilover is a brand new Coilover system made by Tanabe.
Sustec Z40 uses advanced dampers made by KYB and offers fully adjustable ride height, 40-way dampening adjustment, and a twin tube design. Made and tested on every vehicle application to meet the maximum performance and direct fit, 40 way adjustable also.

Medalion Exhaust system!

Still new to the car so exhaust is still getting use to the install! Makes a real nice sound (no lawn mower sound) very nice deep clean sound!

Note: (the blue tips will not be on the actual products)

Barely got the car back yesterday and I'll post more reviews later on with the test driving!


Feel free to ask any type of questions!


Thank you!!




UPDATE: Tanabe Medalion Exhaust Launch

Sounds very low cause I didn't floor it, just a stop and go sound

Second Video we pushed the car a little just to get a different tone to the exhaust system

Since your car was used for testing, do you get to keep the parts? Also, damn why aren't the blue tips going to be on the production version? Those are awesome!

You mind getting a video with some actual engine load? I'm not finding the tone to my liking; sound doesn't come across too well via video.

Yeah, not too fond of the exhaust revving at idle; I'd have to hear it under load. Congrats on the parts hookup!
