Used Tanabe Sustec PRO Struts with PRO210 Japan Springs

Want your WRX to sit lower and corner flatter without the harsh ride of cheap coilovers? This used set of Tanabe Sustec PRO struts comes paired with Tanabe PRO210 Japan-market lowering springs. It fits the 2002–2007 Subaru Impreza WRX with 5×100 hubs, so bugeye, blobeye and hawkeye sedans are all covered. As a result, you get a matched Japanese suspension package in one simple bolt-on set.

What Is Tanabe Sustec?

Tanabe has built suspension and exhaust parts in Japan for decades, and Sustec is its suspension line. Specifically, Tanabe designs Sustec PRO dampers to work with its lowered springs. Because the struts match the shorter springs, they control the car properly at the lower ride height. Therefore, you avoid the bouncing and early shock wear that often come with lowering springs on stock struts. Moreover, both the struts and the PRO210 springs come from the Japanese market, so this combination is hard to find in the US.

Struts and Springs vs Coilovers

Coilovers offer plenty of adjustment, but many owners find them stiff and noisy on daily drives. In contrast, a matched strut-and-spring setup gives you a lower, sportier stance while keeping the car comfortable. It’s also simpler to install and needs less upkeep. Consequently, this Tanabe set is a great choice for a WRX that sees regular street use.

Used Condition

These parts are used, so please review every photo carefully, because they show the actual set you’ll receive. Also, we recommend a professional alignment after installation, since lowering the car changes camber and toe. That way, your WRX tracks straight and wears its tires evenly.
