i have an experience, but not on my coupe. instead with a '00 Prelude. These springs are very good IMO. I'd rate them better than Progress, and H&R.

I have Eseplir springs on my G35C. I dont road race but the ride seems to have gotten only a little bit firmer. Website says .4" drop, but I think it is actually more than that. I have 19" Volk GT7s and I have a "3 finger" gap in the front and "2 finger" gap in the back. Not sure why it is like this, but I assume it is because Espelir is a road race R&D company and they must have determined this is an ideal setup? Overall I am quite happy with the springs, but I will probably go full coilover sometime in the future.

Coreyen & Speeder617,

How's the ride versus stock? Did you have any alignment issues (camber problems)? How much of a drop did the Espelir springs give you - .5" to .75"? Please forward any additional pics.

I appreciate your help. Keith

I just had the Espeling GT springs installed on my car. It's about .5" drop.. and the ride is the same, if not better. I might be selling mine for cheap. Let me know if you're interested.


Thanks,
Jeff

hey i had Espelir GT on my 350z. The ride on the Z was stiff as hell, and the springs made it much nicer. it lowered perfectly. i had 1/2 finger gap with 19's and they actually made the car handle much better. not such a drastic drop where its like DAMNN, but done very subtly and aggresively.

Question, did you get the Espelir GT for the 350z or G35?


Thanks,

I've got Espelir GT springs for a 350Z on my G-Sedan. The drop is drastic...I have absolutely no gap, and in fact the tops of tires are tucking a little.

The ride & handling is excellent, in my opinion...w/ the exception of the occasional bottoming out.

My tires have major negative camber...but I'm okay w/ that. If you're concerned about uneven tire wear, you MUST get a camber kit w/ the setup I'm running. However, if you are like me, and are more into cornering response over sooner tire replacement...then go for it, I think you'll love it.

Some people think my drop is too low & kinda "ricer Honda-ish"...but I like it.

Hope this helps! ^-^

i had the 350z Espelir GT. i aboslutely loved it. everyone would be like something looks different about this car, but could never pinpoint it. i loved that. the ride was awesome too, its a shame they arent as big as they should be. they make good quality springs. however on the G, i decided to go all out and get coilovers and sways should be coming in soon. I got an awesome deal from Tein direct for 670 for the basics. did the install myself, so i got a pretty awesome deal.

Hmm.. would the Espelir GT springs fit in the G35 Coupe? I'm assuming yes, but it can't hurt to make sure.. Do you know if it'll lower more/less on the G35 Coupe?

Do you have a G35 Coupe or sedan? Do you know how much they lower the G35 Coupe?


Thanks,
Jeff
