Thumbs up ***NEW JDM Espelir Springs***

hello,

for those who are considering improving the handling of your GS, i have an extra set of JDM Espelir springs available, NEW, in the box, air flown in from japan.

F: ~40mm/1.6"
R: ~30mm/1.2"

spring rate: ~ the same as stock(confirmed by our own lexus tech, VVT-I after he installed them on 1sicklex's car).

combined with KYB/L-tuned shocks, your car will have an awesome look, improved handling and still retain great ride quality.

Price: $330//set shipped to 48 states. YES, free shipping

if interested, please PM or respond here, and thank you for shopping at CL

William

future and 1sick, thank you for the good references..

boston, yes, sprinsg only for $330 shipped..you can get the L-tuned shocks for ~$220/set..for $550, your car would look great and handles much much better

LV and cams..

L-tuned/eibach, 25-30mm drop, the spring rate is ~20-25% firmer than the stock

Espelir has ~the same spring rate as stock springs, more comfy

I also got these springs from GS4Will. I highly recommend them. The drop is perfect and they ride like stock.

Sorry Will, one more question, going from Eibach to Your springs, will I notice a big change in the way my car handels? I also have 20's on now, and they don't rub at all. Your springs should not rub either, right? Check PM too!

Default Alignment

Will this set cause the car to be out of alignment? If so, is there a spec sheet that would show the new alignment parameters since the factory ones will no longer be good? Also, what is a reasonable price to have these installed? Thanks.

Greg

lv..futuregs has them on 20s, no problem

greg..any sort of lowering wil cause the car to be out-of align..you need to have them do the 4-wheel alignment..


the cost of install+align vary acorss the USA..in LA, ~$200..in NYC, i heard ~$300 and up
