DO they make Espelir springs for 1st Gen GS300s? If they do how low will it drop my car? I want to drop my car about 2-2.5" which springs could I buy to do that.. I can't afford the Tein coilovers I dont want to spend more than $300 for the springs

If I'm not mistaken, Espelir does make springs for our cars. There are supposedly two different versions - one version allows for a 1.5" drop in the front and 1.4" in the rear, the other version provides more of a drastic drop with 1.7" in the front and 1.4 in the rear.

Juice, almost all spings have different rates of drop from fr to rr. For example, your Intrax are 1.75fr and 1.6rr.

Dropped GS, I have very good things about Espelir, what sized wheels do you have? My car rode like STOCK with the 16s and the Intrax

LOL man, trust me, different cars, spring makers etc the height diff is negligible, check out this second gen GS with Espelir springs (1.6/1.4) for reference. The rear actually look dead even with the front!!

Also when i got my springs put on the 96, I had a stereo and my back was a little lower, then I got a 4wheel alignment on the laser rack, and they adjusted my rear toe/camber and the rear end came up a little bit!! Give it a try (i dunno if you have stereo stuff in your trunk though)
