The only thing I didn't like about the Espelirs is that they bottom out when running OEM struts. That's the set up I had in my old car. The ride was very soft which was nice but I would've preferred a stiffer ride.

I've heard that as well. My stock struts had 100k miles on them, that's why I went ahead and swapped to Tokicos at the same time. I have a stock strut on my left rear still, with Tokicos on the other 3 because of a mishap with installation (basically Tokico sent me a broken strut). That left rear sits about 1/8-3/16" lower than the right rear does.

with running either the espiler or tt eibachs is their a need for the camber modification or any other adjusment if you were driving on 18's?

It's hard to say. It depends on a number of factors as to what your degree of camber will be. It depends on tire width, rim width, rim height, which struts you are using, etc..

I'm on 17x9 (255 tire) in the rear and 17x8 (245 tire) in the front, and I have NOT used a camber kit with the Espelir + Tokico combo. Some members who have dropped on this combo DID require the camber kit. Your best bet is to just do it and then see where you sit camber wise.

do you bring the SC to for work? I recall there was a place down south in San Jose that everyone uses? Thanks, I've been trying to find it by reading posts but I'm out of time right now b/c of kid stuff. Anyway to reply with the name of the shop to akitamike@yahoo.com, thanks much.
