not to low, these springs will not effect the comfort of your ride.

I have Espelir's and Tokicos on my SC, the difference in ride quality is noticeable, but its not AWFUL. The drop is ~2"

ride quality is not better than stock...but the tradeoff in looks and handling with a lowered stance and less quality is worth it over stock height and a better ride

stock = more body roll = bad handling
epelirs = less body roll = better handling.

In conclusion better performance over stock is definantly better. People lower their car for this reason alone.

I agree fully Kush, I was just saying that if someone wants a low drop and wants to retain stock ride quality with these springs, it ain't happening today or tomorrow...better going with Coils or Eibach's if you want to maintain ride quality.

I have a question about he stock SC400 1993 struts and shocks. If you place Espelirs on them - what will their lifespan be before they blow their guts out and you have to buy new struts and shocks?

I'm not entirely an expert but I do know that stock struts and shocks are meant for a certain ride height and are valved from the factory for that height. When you change their operating height with lowering springs your putting more pressure on the internals and will / should *blow* them up sooner.

I guess the question is - how much time should you get out of them on Espelirs before they fail on average? 1 month...4 months, 6 months, 1 year, or more?

The reason I ask is that I have the money to buy these right now.... but I just don't know if they will work on my stock struts for long enough to get the money for properly designed lowering application struts.

If you still have them, consider them sold!
