Thumbs up Looking for Espelir/Daizen springs and Ltuned shocks

Just picked up 19's and I need to drop my car. C/O's would be nice, but I need to keep it low $$ for now. Espilar, Daizen, Lsportline... something that would look good with stock body and 19's sitting on 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.

<Edit>I'm pretty sure I want either Espelir or Daizen springs, as well as L-tuned shocks. Any CL members with these for sale, please let me know. I've got a few weeks before my rims/wheels will be setup, if no one has anything fs by then, I'll just buy new. C'mon coilover guys, any of you have any of these?

Depends on the drop....check the suspension section and decide from there....I would definately upgrade to L-tuned shocks with the drop...call Carson Toyota for those and Check on springs with them as well...depending on the drop....you can go with espilar, Tein and Tanabe for an aggressive drop without sacrificing the ride too much...1.4-6" front....or you can do eibach, H&R, L-tuned, etc...for a slight drop 1"-1.5" Frnt...Good luck!

Thanks dagr8tsthustla, I did quite a bit of searching and realized I really should do the shocks at the same time. I also narrowed my spring preference to Daizen or Espelir. I'm hunting for l-tuned shocks. As my adjusted original post says, If I can't find a slightly used set of either over the next couple of weeks, I'll check with Carson.

No Problem!!

Yeah...it would be best if you did the springs and shocks at the same time so that you are not paying double on labor....I did that and I could've used that extra $200 for another MOD!!! You should be happy with the Espilar springs/L-Tuned shocks combo....I think FutureGS has them on his...its a pretty clean drop and a nice ride...the spring ratio is as close to the stock ride as it gets!!!

Good Luck!

Okay, I'll give it a couple of more days before I just order espelir springs and ltuned shocks new. If anyone has either fs, let me know.

thx
