dbox, my Espelir springs, that I got from GS4will are some of the lowest, 1.8 front and 1.7 rear. Tanabe gives a 2" drop. Sprint springs too but no one can vouch for their quality.

dbox is cool, I know him from the Acura-Cl forum.

I also have Espelir springs (from GS4Wll), gives the car a great drop. I have almost no gap between wheel and fender, where as before it was HUGE.

dbox, I cannot recommend a 2" drop with stock shocks. The stock shocks were not designed for that. I have L-tuned shocks and once your a Clublexus member, the price is around $200.

Try Tanabe springs.

Their DF springs are 2" drop.

I'm not sure what to say about them especially on a GS model since I've only compared them to stock on my LS.

I think they are too soft or something - I can't go 100mph and hit a little dip on the freeway because my car bounces all over. My take is that they are made for looks/show purposes and not for racing or high speed driving.
