Espelir Springs?

Looking to drop my '05 X and there's a guy local to me that's selling some Espelir springs off his sedan. No luck searching online, anyone have any experience with these?

If it helps, they're a baby blue colour.

Espelir is a quality company (They're mackin same company as Rays AKA Volk)

But to be honest I have never owned or installed their springs. However, I would trust them to be quality, so if they are the drop you want then go for it.

I have a set of Espilr springs thanks to another member of the forums.

Check out the suspension thread for the spring rates.

It rides fine but to be honest, the spring rate is a little stiff for the OEM struts.

So the stiffer spring rate, would cause a bouncier ride or a rougher ride?

To be honest, the ride wasn't bad at all.

The only time I would feel it was when I would hit big dips in the road. The OEM shocks could handle the rebound of the stiffer spring rate.

I would suggest aftermarket struts like d-specs, but I think the spring rate is still a tad too stiff for d-specs according to Tokico. Should be fine though.

Ok.

Here are the pics from the guy selling them. Think I'll need a camber kit?

With mine, it's only a small drop (per Espilir) and it took me to about -2.2 front and -2.5 rear camber. I have a coupe though.

You may be getting the sedan springs which have a softer spring rate and drop.
