I need springs, which would you choose?

Everything stock right now.

Wheels 19 x 8.5 w/ +42 offset

 

Depends. With DF, tires may touch fenders, but it probably looks better.

 

The thing I'm worried about is that with the NF's it might not be enough of a drop and with the DF's it might be too much of a drop, I know Coilovers would solve my concerns but I can't afford to go that route. I just want a clean looking GS.

 

Hey Silver, as BlackGS says, it all depends. I have 18's and I would need the DF210's. I really don't want that super low look because I don't want any part of the tires touching the fender at all. I too don't wanna go the coilover route.

But can you or somebody answer this one question, should I be concerned about rubbing if I drop the car using DF210's and putting on the stock wheels and tires let say for winters.

 

Depends what you're looking for. I have the NF's and they ride great. Just like stock w/o the floaty feeling. But sometimes I wish they dropped the car a little more.

 

find a set of Espelirs, the best of both worlds, nice drop and the spring rate is the closest you get to stock. I thought I saw a set in the classifieds recently. I love them.

 

Espelirs are what you have?

 

yes, sportdesigns come from the factory with l-tuned shocks so i just got the springs...couldn't be happier

 

I have my stock wheels on with winters right now...but they drop nicely...

 

I heard lots of favorable comments for Espelirs springs.

 

i also have espelir springs and i love them. espelir springs with ltuned shocks!!!

 

Where can you buy Espelirs, and around what price for 4?

 

I got mine from a clublexus member who had them on for 3 months. I got them from him for 125 shipped...

Heres the link from the most recent classified ad

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hlight=espelir

 

www.LuxuryMods.com has them for sale.

 

How much (or should I say how many mechanic hours) would it typically cost to get new springs as compared to crossovers installed at a reputable shop?

I am interested in dropping my gs as well since I have a set of 06 GS 18" wheels coming in.

Thanks!
