I have the PRO FIVE with TEAS. I like it so far.. great handling on the mountains.. I wish it could be a little softer on the softest setting, but it's okay for daily driving. I called them about the difference between the FIVE and SEVEN. Basically, if you aren't going to track your car, you'll be fine with the FIVE.

One weird thing is the rear suspension makes a sound when it hits a large bump.. nothing annoying, but it's there.. hard to describe the sound.

problem is availability. Everytime we ask them for stock for someone, they are special order only (no doubt due to their cost)

I can only say good things about them and run there stabilizer with it and u will be very happy with ur car
Good to know, thanks on the review, was leaning towards the 5's because I dont track my car and price but I'm now sold on the PRO7's. I have Tanabe front & rear sways waiting to be installed.

I had them for about 4.5 months on my Z all I can tell is they are very street able(sorry I suck at giving feedback)get the TEAS it makes the whole system come to life and worth every last penny.Some people may complain about the price of in cabin adjustment I personally say it was great for my daily driving and weekend canyon runs.

These are definitely comfortable for daily driving.They are 12 way adjustable manually and 16 way with the TEAS.I sold my set here to a lucky member at a very good price.My car is now retired from daily use and I am now focusing on building for competitive purposes.I will be upgrading to the Sustec Pro 7's for my new setup
