Look up fliptrix, he's running espelirs with Vertex style kit and 18". Pretty low, I've seen it in person, I thought he was on coils before asking him. And also, check out Raine's website, projectraine.com, he used to have espelirs as well before getting coils.

If you have aggressive offsets you definitely need to shave/roll your fenders if you're going low. All in all espelirs will get rid of the wheel gap. It's worth it if you're balling on a budget.

Supra espilers or Scxxx? You know there 2 different drops in heights right? Supra espilers will lower the sc's an additional 1" i think someone correct me if im wrong.

Nah with a 40 offset you shouldn't rub. I had 19x8 +30 offset and didn't rub. Although the drop is nice your gonna want more, I'm currently saving to get coilovers because the front isn't low enough for me

.5''-.75'', might get a 1'' after springs settling in. Im considering a set of the TT Espilers cause the Eibachs just arent low enough.

im running same springs with tokico blue shocks my wheel specs are 18 x8 plus 25mm spacers and i dnt rub personally i wwould rather have PMB coils and rub on 18x10 +0 offset but thats later on in life

sc300 it says i should be dropped 2 inches.


nah im not into hella flush. im more into performance but im broke now and unemployed but i needed to get away from monster truck status so i went with the springs until i can afford coilovers. if the pictures ive seen are accurate the drop is just about perfect for what i want.

Kez ur car looks nice...n i have a set of espilers bnib that i keep contemplating puttin on. I want coils though so i have more room to play. Maybe i should sell them. Idk what to do. Smh

now one thing i dont knwo is what they mean by scraping. do you guys only scrape lip or is it more serious then that like oil pan.

I never scraped my oil pan, just watch for those elevated manholes. I'm on some 17x8 +30 and sometimes it'll rub in the front if I go up my driveway a certain angle. Front lip always scrapes just the very bottom though. Don't forget to roll your fenders if you're going wide with a low offset.

I had them on my 1st SC300 and loved them, only scraped my front lip on really big driveway curbs, no rubbing issues and I had 19x8.5 in front and 19x9.5's in the rear. I was completely satisfied with them and had no thrive for coils, but thats just me. I wish they were still made because I would buy them again

i have them right now, on stock wheels. it completely took away wheel gap, i can jam a finger between the fender and tire and that's it. i'm about to mount my 18x8.5 +25, 18x10 +25, and i probably won't have even a finger gap after that. my front bumper scrapes a lot and it's just a 95 bumper with no lip... but i don't really get any rubbing on the stock wheels and i don't scrape the oil pan.

you can still buy them, i just bought some the other day (waiting for shipping now...)

How much did u pay? There not as common anymore for sum reason. I waited months b4 mine came from japan.

JDMJoe239

$300 after shipping. so $270 before shipping. and seriously months? i might just cancel because my friend owes me $300 and should be paying me back soon. so i might just get some tein basics till i can afford some good coilovers. also where in florida are you?

edit: i just canceled the order. now i just have to wait for money and ill get some coilovers.
