OK I need a final answer

I ordered Espelir springs and they were listed at a 2.2"F/2.4"R drop...I have been reading the forums about them a lot lately and a lot of people say they give it about 1.5" Which is the FINAL ANSWER?(in an overly played out Regis voice)

Thanks

Josh

I think I figured it out, the Active Super Down springs have a 2.2/2.4 drop...this is going to be a tight fit

I just put the springs on my car, and I think I got more then the 1.5" drop.

I'll post pics of my car with the drop for you when I can get around to it.

I don't think the Espelirs drop it by 1.5"... looks like more?

What size rims are you running on that car? I am considering suspension options at this time. I have tokico blues with eibach pro-kit coils and daizen bushings. My car rides a little rougher than I think it should and was wondering if any one had any suggestions for a different combo of suspension parts.

Its those bushings that are giving you the rough ride you dont want.

I'm running only 18's on there, but that's while I think up of new wheels (these wheels will end up on my Previa

), I'm thinking maybe 19" Blitz Technospeed Z2 wheels or just go with a 97+ kit (the kit is really appealing right now, and I'm a 1/4 of the way there in terms of saving lol

)

I was thinking of getting the espiler super down springs, but I dont know if the 20" Lowenharts will clear with those springs. Youre car looks pretty low in the front using those springs.

I wouldn't worry about them, seriously, unless you want to change the shocks over too. I've got 166k on the clock and it rides fine.

Jose, your car looks hot with that drop and rims. Espilars seem to drop the car very low. it seems to be more than 1.5 inch drop
