Espelir Springs

Has anyone tried these springs yet? I've seen them on Mackin Industries website...supposedly one will drop the .5"....Just wondering if anyone has these or tried them? TIA for the input!

Their spring rates are considerably higher than any of the other springs out there. Doesn't seem very practical for a daily driver...

I'm running the 350Z "GT" units on my 6MT Sedan w/ Sport Suspension...it is SLAMMED (too low for many). It does handle nice...on smooth roads - corners beautifully. But, some of those not-so-perfect Southern CA roads will really bounce you all over.

Here's what it looks like w/ the 19in wheel setup from Coupe:

actuallly i had them on my 350z and they were AWESOME. very subtle but perfect drop w/ 19's. also it was MUCH smoother than my stock '03 suspension. had many comments on how it was smoother. if you get the 350z ones they should be pretty good. i loved em

With dampers/cut bumpstops, is this a good setup for a performance-oriented ride?

I am getting ready to swap out my S.Tech's for a set of Tein Basics or the Espelir springs/D-specs.
