Look up fliptrix, he's running espelirs with Vertex style kit and 18". Pretty low, I've seen it in person, I thought he was on coils before asking him. And also, check out Raine's website, projectraine.com, he used to have espelirs as well before getting coils.
If you have aggressive offsets you definitely need to shave/roll your fenders if you're going low. All in all espelirs will get rid of the wheel gap. It's worth it if you're balling on a budget.

Nah with a 40 offset you shouldn't rub. I had 19x8 +30 offset and didn't rub. Although the drop is nice your gonna want more, I'm currently saving to get coilovers because the front isn't low enough for me

nah im not into hella flush. im more into performance but im broke now and unemployed but i needed to get away from monster truck status so i went with the springs until i can afford coilovers. if the pictures ive seen are accurate the drop is just about perfect for what i want.

I never scraped my oil pan, just watch for those elevated manholes. I'm on some 17x8 +30 and sometimes it'll rub in the front if I go up my driveway a certain angle. Front lip always scrapes just the very bottom though. Don't forget to roll your fenders if you're going wide with a low offset.

I had them on my 1st SC300 and loved them, only scraped my front lip on really big driveway curbs, no rubbing issues and I had 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5's in the rear. I was completely satisfied with them and had no thrive for coils, but thats just me. I wish they were still made because I would buy them again

i have them right now, on stock wheels. it completely took away wheel gap, i can jam a finger between the fender and tire and that's it. i'm about to mount my 18x8.5 +25, 18x10 +25, and i probably won't have even a finger gap after that. my front bumper scrapes a lot and it's just a 95 bumper with no lip... but i don't really get any rubbing on the stock wheels and i don't scrape the oil pan.
