Default Espelir parts available soon for SC300!

Espelir, a popular and proven aftermarket brand in Japan will soon be available in the US! I just got word from Mackin Industries (US distributor of Volk Racing and Espelir) that Espelir springs for the SC300 will be for sale beginning on 8/12. Retail price is $340, but remember that you can probably get it cheaper if you shop around. If you are seriously interested, send me a PM for someone who can get you the springs. I am not making any profit from this...just trying to pass on some good info.

BTW, I'm really satisfied with my set

These are the measurements taken from my car AFTER the springs. It's approx a 1.5" drop. Camber problems were not really an issue for me.

how are you on ground clearance? Do you have lots of trouble getting into driveways and such?

i rarely have problems with clearance, but i try to avoid steep driveways. the only driveway that i refuse to go up is my grandma's driveway. even my parent's van scrapes if you're not going slowly are carefully up that thing.

I bought my ESPELIR from Will and very satisfy with them... although I might have to cut the bumpstops.
