98-03 GS Daizen Sport Springs Available
Wow just got these in, fits 98-03 GS300 GS400 GS430
Progressive spring with 1.9" front, 1.5" rear drop.
$349.95
Comes with some misc hardware and instructions.
Ride quality I'd say is slightly stiffer than the Eibach Pro Kit. Definitely smoother than the H&Rs

The L-Tuned springs are basically the same as the Eibach Pro Kit as far as ride and performance, so the comparison would be the same as stated above.
These aren't aggressively tuned for the rate, so they still provide a very decent ride.
I think the Bilstein SP are a little on the stiff side for these springs, but of course that is if you were looking for optimum conditions. They work very well with the SP's however. I think my weapon of choice would be the Bilstein HD or the L-Tuned shocks. Daizen is going to be coming out with some shocks that will work very well with these (along with some other MUCH needed and nifty features that I can't tell you at this time!
) but until then anything would be more than acceptable, with my personal preference of the two previously mentioned units.
Definitely nothing like the H&R semi truck springs.

Can you tell us about how long until things will be introduced? I am considering some suspension changes and I will consider waiting!

Oh yeah good thinking...here's a picture...
The gap is around 3/4" above the tire and pretty even front to back.

Ok, here's the info that I have so far on the shocks that are on the way.
ETA is some time around the end of the year.
Shocks will be shorter than the OEM shocks, so they will improve ride dramatically by increasing suspension travel. YAY!
Spring seat will have a 5 position adjustable stop, so that minor height adjustments can be made.
Damping will be tuned for comfortable street driving, somewhere between the currently available L-Tuned and Bilstein units.
Should work pretty well with both stock and aftermarket springs if you ask me!
