I have been looking for a set of lowering springs to even out the wheel gaps and increase the spring rate slightly for better handling. I wanted Prodrives, but at $300 they are a bit pricey

The Espelir springs seem to be almost exactly like Prodrives, and they cost a lot less. However they are not widely available in US, so there is not much info on them. I found the specs, but there is not much other info for these JDM springs. I converted the specs from metric.

The Espelir GDA springs are:

Front/Rear -1.5"/-1.0" 185 lb/in / 145 lb/in

Anybody know anything about these, let me know. I'll be picking mine up sometime this week.

Thanks!
Maniac.

 

hmmm never heard of them

let us know how they are when you get them on

 

I searched on line a little more and I found them on an Aussie site. They list the drop as 35mm/18mm or 1.4" fornt /0.7" rear which would definately achieve the desired "leveling" of the wheel gaps. Espelir seems to be well known in Japan. They make stuff for the S2000, mazdas, toyotas, and other japanese makes. They are made in Japan and appear to be of good quality. I may be getting them next week...

 

where are you buying them from? they should real good, i was going to get eibachs but these seem more 'even'. are they progressive rate and are they specific for 04's?

 

I'm buying them locally (El Monte, CA). They are progressive judging by the pictures http://www.mackinindustries.com/espelir_spring.html
