I have noticed no difference in ride quality. The sway bars made a bigger difference IMO. The car rebounds on bumps so much more quickly, it feels so much more responsive.

I have not taken it on "spirited driving" yet but I will this Saturday. I have 18" wheels.

The gap is perfect for the wheels and drop. looks really good you could not do better even with adjustable.

future...glad you like the springs...we need more good pics taken at eye/belt level and from a slight distance..as mike said, these pics do not do justice

mike, the Espelir sprinsg are softer than your teins for the fact the Espelir has lower spring rate..so that give the car good drop/look with nice quality ride..the spring rate is lower than the popular Eibach...hence, good ride quality
btw, i should have your "goods" by the end of month...

1sick...actually Mackin Industries are the US importer/Distributor for few JDM brands such as Tanabe and Rays wheels...it would be good if they decide to bring these into the US officially...

Espelir Springs are made by "Espelir" of japan, a well known spring maker in japan, they make nothing but springs...and have several hundred applications for many different cars

now more pics please

!!!!GREAT!!!!

I think Angel from Carson is coming my way in the middle of Feburary... I told him about my wedding and said to him if he wanted to fly over he was more than welcome since I have 15 rooms at the Hyatt already reserved and payed for... Steve told me that he could have a few days off so I think he's coming... So if the weather is nice I'll have to put the Works on so we can go out to the city in style... As soon as those bad boys come in take a quik look while UPS is still there and tell him to load em back and ship them to Syph...

did you guys cut your bumpstops?

i don't mean to knock on Will's statement or anything, but actually, in regards to Mackin Industries and Espelir, Mackin will begin to import Espelir instead of Tanabe. Espelir also makes exhausts.

Very nice ride Future.
I just did the installation on 1Sick and the Espelir has the same coil rate as the stock spring, but about 2" shorter( off the car). Very nice combination IMO with L-tuned shocks set up.
Will, great job on putting the set up together. If I don't have the L-tuned on mine, this would be the way to go. The ride quality is pretty much the same compare to stock, but the car looks sweet. 1Sick was jumping up and down when he see his car .


Quick Reply: Espelir/Rims installed.
