Default Question for Espelir spring owners

I've decided on Espelir springs with stock shocks for my s2k. Before I order them, I just want to hear what people who own or have owned these springs have to say.

How is the quality of these springs? I've read about people having alignment problems and uneven drops. From what I've gathered, waiting about a week after installation to get an alignment done will fix these problems. Is that right?

How is the ride with stock shocks and 17" wheels compared to stock?

Also, if anyone is having problems with these springs, please let me know. I want to know what I'm getting myself in to before I order them. Thanks for any input!

My brother has these on 17" wheels. Its just a little bit rougher then stock but its nothing you can't live with. He'as had them on for a good 3 months or so now, no problems so far.

I've had them installed for about six months now with no problems. Again, just make sure to give them a couple of hundred miles to settle before you get an alignment. Or if you can't wait, go to Firestone after a few days and buy the "Lifetime" Alignment package deal they offer for a little over $100. Then you can come back any time to get re-aligned for free for as long as you own the car.

I bought these springs about a month and a half ago and absolutely love them...i'm riding on stock shocks now with the stock tires and the ride is almost stock; to be honest, IMO, it feels JUST like stock...

i just drove 800+ miles to and from florida with my g/f and the ride was extremely smooth...so smooth she damn near slept the whole way...

all in all, the springs create a really nice drop and offer a very nice ride in for an affordable price...you cant beat it..

goodluck

I have 'em too. AWESOME!! I also have them with Koni 5-ways, ride quality is much better than stock. Much more responsive, very tight, but the ride is just about as soft as stock. I did a lot of research on these springs before I bought. Great ride, perfect drop, and quality is among the best!
