Person who asked was me..

I will wait to see how the group buy goes, if springs aren't the choice, I will have to ask Robert to get me some good springs from the Land of the Rising Sun.

40 mm, so that's hmmm about.. 1.6 inch drop front, 1 inch rear? What are the other brands other than Tanabe?

RS-R had some and they had low to very high price........ I dont remember what the others were. He named off 3-4 brands but I was just mostly trying to remember prices and drop.

I live in Japan & I have never gotton someone something that took more then 6 weeks. I got some cool STB bars that were made to order for folks that took the longest. That was only 6 weeks.

since the ES300/windom is not a popular modifiy car in japan/america, so the shop really need some time to find it for me...(since thiskg/mm DR21 springs is only for Windom 2.5G&3.0G only) i knw those Camry springs will work (kg/mm got diff springs rate for Camry V6 and Windom), but i m too "picky" so i didnt choose those Ebiach pro-kit solara/camry springs since it is not design for the ES300 in first place and those H&R drop was not really notices..and Tein Stech wasnt exist at that time....so my only choice is the kg/mm....
to make the long story short.. since to only ship a set of springs from japan is just too expensive, so i have to wait for others order(bodykit,exhasts,coilover...) to combine with so that they can make a "BIG Order" to ship from japan and when i order the springs i already missed the BIG shipment, so i have to wait for the next shipment. but i excepted this will happen, since u are not working on some popular CIVIC or Accord....
