Default WTB Espelir Springs/KYB GR-2's 01 GS430 NYC/NJ

What's up everyone. I'm looking to do the drop on my car because I just can't take looking at the front gap any longer and have decided I want to go with Espelir springs over the Tanabe NF210's. I need to keep the comfortable ride and from what I have been reading on the forum this combo will give me the best drop I am looking for without sacrificing comfort. So, if you have the Espelir springs/KYB GR-2 combo for sale for an 01 GS430, please PM me a price for your set. Even if it's just the springs, let me know that as well since I may just get new shocks. Local preferred but will consider those who need to ship. Thanks!

just curious, why dont you just pick up new espelirs? if you search around, pretty sure you can pick up a new set for less than $200 shipped or right around there!

Thanks.. Do you have a site? I checked www.luxurymods.com and they have them listed as dropping the car 2.2/F and 1.2/R. Is that right? I thought it was 1.6/F and 1.2/R. Either way, can you send me a site to point me in the right direction?

http://www.upgrademotoring.com/suspe...ir_springs.htm
http://www.mackinindustries.com/md/e...t_expelir.html

the last link is the distributor list for espelir. call some places. when i was looking, many places wanted to get rid of their espelir sets and were negotiable on the prices. GL.

Also, the drop rate is 55mm front and 30mm rear, per the application web page. (25.4mm = 1 inch)

I paid 275 for my espilers. Once they settle you'll be about 1.7/1.2. barely a finger gap and ride is nice.

Hey, where did you get yours from? 275 isn't bad.. Especially if the ride is still nice.. Glad to finally "meet" someone from NJ.. You know how the roads can be here in certain areas. And hey, congrats on getting married. Saw it in the other threads.... Welcome to the MMC. (Married Men's Club)

are you on stock shocks? I got Tanabe GF210's (1.8"f/1.3"r) on Bilstein Sport shocks and for some reason the Espelir springs looks like it gives a better drop on some of the rides i see here on CL. funny thing is, the specs on both springs seem to give the same drop according to the manufacture specs.

Im wondering if the type of shocks affect the drop as well?

Maybe someone can chime in.

I'm on stock shocks for now. Wanted to wear them out a little and give myself some time to spend a little more cash. Had the springs on for 6 months and my shocks are still in decent shape. One is a little banged up but just waiting for a little longer.

Don't remember where I got them but if you search my posts I'm sure that I mentioned it. I was hunting for a while. Some place in Cali.

Where you from in NJ???? I'm in New Brunswick

I forgot to say that I will take L-Tuned shocks also. Or if someone can point me in the direction that would be appreciated too. The link to upgrade motoring isn't working either.
