Cool I'm always around the firewheel area cuz my parents live in Garland. I guess there are more people on here from texas than I realized

Seems like the Daizen's lower more? Or atleast so they look... How do these ride? Which is better overall Daizen or the DF's? I see tons of people w/ DF's, but a bit less with Daizen. Saw somebody comment on the Daizen's saying that they're the best lowering springs for the 2GS, anyone able to back this up?

I'm getting my struts done this upcoming Sunday, so a couple weeks from now I will probably be ordering my springs.

Thanks in advance guys!
Espelir springs man. Espelir. I got a thread open a while back w/ pics of my drop with 20's if ya wanna check it out. Even w/ 20's, it rides daaaaaamn close to stock. They'll drop lower than DF's or Daizens and have one of the softest spring rates.

Oh really? Hmm I saw a few Espelir Springs on the thread I was looking on, they did look good, but didn't seem to drop as much as Daizen... What's the drop rate that you got on your Lex w/ them?

I'll check out your pics.

Yeah if you look around there are actually a lot of people on here from Texas. Mainly from Houston/Austin area, but still there are about 5-6 people that i've seen on here from the DFW area.

df210s are 1.8f/1.6r and Espelir are 1.3f/1.3r. they'll be lower if you cut them lol.
