I currently have RS-R Ti2000 springs installed on Knoi Yellow Shocks. I am pleased with the set up, but want to install new springs for 2 reason:

1. I want to raise the car up a little, right now I'm scraping the bottom of the car on everything! The RS-R's say that it lowers the car 0.8F and 1.4R.

2. I want something that has a stiffer spring rate that will match well with the Koni Yellows. RS-R spring rate 262F and 332R.

I've been doing some research and am interested in Tanabe and Espelir. Can anyone offer me any advice on either of the 2 or suggest any others?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Espelir's! I installed it last week on Sunday. 1.3 inch drop front and rear. Once it settle it will be about 1.5 all around. I love the drop. Very stiff and smooth ride.

 

1.5 all around isnt exactly higher than .8 and 1.4...

 

Eibach Pro Kit. One inch drop around and stiff. No rubbing, great cornering confidence, especially at high speeds.

 

i got Espelir as well, drop is decent but it doesn't rub, that is the most important!!!!!!!!!! It had been recommended by many on the board here...low drop yet don't rub, what else can you ask for for a few hundred bucks

 

if you change the springs, do you have to change shocks? i want to lower about an inch or so. Would the shocks wear faster with a 1inch drop. some have said 1inch shouldn't be a problem on stock shocks.
thanks

 

It is not necessary to change the shocks.

 

I thought the Espelir lowered the car 20mm in the front and 30mm in the rear (.8inches front, 1.2inches rear)??

 

i have tanabes. they are great, except, mine are factory defective. the right rear refuses to settle, after 5 months. talking to manufacturer. want to change out of these. maybe want spoon progressive's.

 

I would re-install the stock springs and use the lower perch setting on the koni's...
