I am thinking about getting some espelir springs for my sc300 and I was wondering how the ride is. I would get coilovers but I dont have the money for that yet. I want to keep my stock ride if possible but still ride low. Let me know how it rides.

almost stock ride your forget your lowered on springs until you go over a bumpy road or speed bumps

Kind of embarrassing to take a date on Espelir springs on a bumpy road. On a perfect road, it rides good.

haha true! just like everyone is saying, it's pretty much like stock until you go over some bumps.

what would be the best combination? espelir springs with KYB or can i put TT supra shocks/struts? I will eventually buy some shocks/struts, i am just asking for you all's opinion.

just to update you, i did buy the espelir springs and it took me a weekend to put them on. my shocks/struts are still good and i am on a budget so i will be saving up for some new ones. I also put on some supra rims wrapped around falkens. Fronts: 235/45/17 Rears: 275/45/17.

Let me know which shocks/struts to save up for. KYBs or Supras?

Personally, I have the supra TT and espelir springs.

Rides well! I would much prefer some kyb between them but considering a budget the tt/espelir work well. Nothing to bash on, just a good ride w/ some drizz-op. haha.

I'm also on espelir... +1 avoiding bumpy roads. Otherwise, its all good. I get lots of compliments on the drop. I'm on KYB w/20"s

Yes, you will need to get an alignment after installing these springs, I was able to get all four wheels back to OEM camber specs after an alignment.

yea... definitely get an alignment right after you drop your car... if not, you will screw up your ride

I have heard that if you get anything more than 1.2 inches in drop, that you cant align the car right. Has anybody else had this issue? I dont want to have to buy tires every year or several months.

After trying several alignment shops/mechanics, I found one that got the wear relatively even on my rears. My fronts only wear on the inside though. With Falken FK452 (cheap tires) on 19" wheels, I only get slightly over a year of tire life. I'd recommend a camber kit, but it is more money.
