ALL Espelir spring users - please help
I've been debating about getting Espilir springs for my SC. I've searched and still having a hard time coming up with Espilir reviews specifically for the SC, not to mention what combo they are running, or even pics.
It doesnt seem like the Eibach Prokit will drop my car enough to rid it of the wheel gap it has in the front.
Another setup I was also considering were the Tokico HP (blues) series kit, had this setup on my GSX and loved it. Just not sure if anyone has had this setup or what they thought of it.
These are combo's I've been considering:
Supra TT - struts with Supra Espilir springs
SC - Tokico HP (blues) with Espilir springs
SC - Tokico HP series KIT
Pics would be much appreciated, not to mention information/opinions on the setups. And before anyone asks, I am getting coilovers in the future, but not until my car is turbo. IF and when that day comes I dont want my nice coilovers to have 15k+ miles on them. Just being a realist, I dont want to be like the many on here that have "2JZGE- TURBO SOON" in their sig for 2 years

I had Eibach prokit springs back in the day and it wasnt even a drop IMO. Swapped it out Espelir/Tokico blue combo on Supra TT's. Drop was perfect to me. The Supra setup might be pretty good also...
I had the Espelir/Tokico HP combo on my 97 sc. It had a very nice drop. Car handled great. Felt very sporty and still comfortable. If I didn't go with coilovers on my 93, I wouldve went back to this combo.
My first setup was Espilir/Tokico blues and the ride and handling were great. I ended up switching to coilovers because I wanted a perfect drop to accomdate my semi-aggresive offset setup.

Wow. Thanks for all the quick responses. I started looking further into the Espelir springs and I'm worried that it will drop the rear a little too much for my taste. It says 2.1" drop for front and 2.3" drop for rear...
I forgot to mention I am running 18" wheels, so dropping the rear enough to rid it of the gap isnt as hard as the front. I can fit 3 fingers in the gap of my front tires.
I do not want to car to sit level/low. I am wanting the front a tad bit lower (raked). I might run some different springs in the rear, but keep all 4 corners on Tokicos.

I am running 18s with Espelir ASD and KYB GR-2 back/ OEM front. Rides like butt on a bad road, but these are the most aggressive springs out there. I only bought them because I wanted my car to be pretty low.
