FrankWhite, judging by your picture, it looks like you have no issues with rubbing with your stock wheels and tires even with the car lowered.
Espelirs springs. I've never heard of them. Are they somewhat new on the market?

Re:

I see the Espelir's are listed on websites for GS300's only. Does anyone know if they will actually work with GS430s? I also see that the spring rate is increased 20 - 30%. Wouldn't that make the ride really firm? I'm also thinking about Tanabe NF210's and their spring rate is only increased 5% to keep the gentle ride...

I go over speedbumps everyday...I don't barrel over them, and I never bottom out. I also trimmed my bumpstops half way...thats helps tremendously when going low on springs.

Re:

True, True. So if you're looking for L Tuned branded shocks which have been discontinued, order the sport design shocks... the same thing

I have 255/35/20 tires and am wondering which set of springs I should go for.

I don't want to my tires to rub on my bodykit. Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.

Could I still use the DF210 and drop it 1.8" without having to modify my fenders?

thank,
Kent
