Thumbs up espelir springs new pix

big ups to F1 motorsports (chris) for hooking me up with some espelir gt springs

rides awesome and the drop is subtle

still needs to settle a bit more but im very pleased, i was really worried that if i went with tein s tech its would sag too low, these springs dont drop as much as the teins but its very noticable from stock

check out the pics

Gap looks like my stock. Maybe the wheels are lower profile.

Yeah, what's up with that wheel gap. Looks like you can slip 2 fingers between the tire and the wheel well.

The Tien H springs may be the way to go . The Espelir's are much more expensive aren't they . I scrape backing out of my drive way now . Ive scraped off the the black lower lip on the front end already . Some guys just cant and dont want to drop it down to much

I could've sold you my Espelir GT springs for $100 or so. Anyway, the Espelir GT springs are supposed to lower the car about .5" from stock. I think the ride is better than stock. I'm debating whether or not I want to go lower.. cause with these springs, I don't have to worry about speed bumps, yadda yadda. and if I go lower, it'll give me a headache.

By the way, how much did F1 charge you to install the springs?


Thanks,
Jeff

it rides great compare to tein spring

my friend has teins and wants to switch to espelirs once he got to ride in my car, its noticeably stiffer but does not compromise ride

i cannot disclose what ipaid since it was a "hookup"

im not saying tein are no good its just preferance, i just didnt like it dropped the car that low and it scares me since there are so many breaking bumps on CA freeways and side streets (looks good when parked though!!!!)

it has settel alot more since i been driving it ill post more pics this afternoon

thanx everyone for your comments
