Default Espelir ASD springs

I am looking at purchasing some of these springs and wanted some feedback from anyone that is using them or has experience with them.

very nice stance for springs imo.. the ride is a bit stiffer than stock, so its not toobad. im happy with my purchase.
got them for $175 shipped thru gruppe-s motorsports,but they were back ordered for 3 weeks.

i've had them on for about 4-5 months, this picture was taken a week ago.

Was the drop as advertised 30mm F and 70mm R? I don't want to go too much stiffer than stock but want the drop. Thanks for the response.

when i first dropped the car, i didnt preload the springs, so after it settled, my rear seemed to be a bit lower then my fronts. I preloaded the springs maybe 1.5 months ago? and now the front came a bit lower.. the car sits at a perfect height, imo.

damn thats a great drop....i'm still debating just getting these for when spring rolls around, and just ride on them till I kill the stock shocks, then getting coilovers or something. What do you have to do to preload the suspension? Tighten the bolts when the car is off jacks?

That is what I'm thinking too. Gives you time to save up for a good set of coil-overs.

Yeah, realistically, i don't even need coilovers because I wouldn't be autocrossing much, if ever, but maybe in the future I will.

Then a buddy brings up the point that I should get coilovers and leave the stock shocks/springs as new so I can put them back on if I ever sell the car or need to, but I don't plan on selling the car ever so might as well blow um out and upgrade to coilovers someday and sell the espelirs if need be.

07RioS2k has some pics of his car on espelirs with stock shocks as well and it looks super duper too. I may purchase these over the winter, but i'm not 100% on it yet.

Also, if you look around, a vendor has them for $170 if it's still going on.

For me, I got the springs because I wanted a decent drop. After the fact, I been wanting more so I'm planning on getting coilovers. If in the future you plan on getting coils, I'd just save up and get them now.
