If they are actually BNIB I'd say get them, make sure they are for your car, what else you need? depends how bad old pieces are off of your car, like my insulators are all torn apart...

Very good deal... even if they were used really. I paid $370 for mine new, they're becoming super hard to find BNIB in the states.

I want to run Espilir's on the front of my car. The Tanabe NF210's I installed on my Tokico HPs didnt lower the car enough. But its a major improvment from stock.

Tip:

Drivers front - You have to pull back the fender liner on the front and unbolt the washer bottle. This will provide the clearance required when you remove the long bolt that is in the upper control arm. When you are installing the struts, re-install that long bolt backwards (nut facing the washer bottle) that way in the future if you have to remove your suspension for any reason, you wont have to touch the washer bottle.

^^^ Amen to that brother! That's probably the easiest way to do it. Some people unbolt the lower control arm but I find it harder that way.

Thank you so much!!! This is the type of hints/headsup I was looking for when I made the post, things that would help me do this with ease.

No worries. If you ever want to trade springs, (perhaps it lowers your car too much) let me know

Too low is never too much lol
Thats the only reason why I didn't buy nf210, while I was window shopping I came across on the lowering rate, nf210 was less of a drop than Espelir.

Why are they so cheap on ebay? Sounds fishy to me...These springs are usually $250+ when I bought mine.

It's only been about a day now but I took it for a road test yesterday and it feels 100% better than before.

I am very satisfied with this set up.

How long have you had this set up and what do you think of it?
