s13 Espelir Springs Reviews

I have Espelir Springs not installed. I was wondering if anybody has them on their car. I just want to know the ride quality (stiffness, drop, comfort) and would they work well wid gr-2's or agx? Well I just wanted to get reviews and opinions on them from people that tried that set up. I know coilovers are the best way to go (kts,tanabes stance, etc.) but would these springs match my driving needs.

They are fairly stiff, and have a nice drop to them, ive got a pair of rears, and when they were installed they had about a 0.8 in drop, and were fairly stiff.

I used to have the ASDs on my first s13 coupe. They went VERY well with AGXs. The ride was incredible, and were very good during AutoX days. My only complaint was the car felt bouncy when the AGXs were full stiff. WHen the AGXs were toned down a bit, they felt like entry level coilovers *at least I thought so*

Thanks alot I think I will go with the AGX wid the Espelir ASD.. I don't think I will be on a track more then 2 to 3 times a year. Well If you guys can, post pictures up of your ride with that set up.

KwKouki whats your set up now just wondering and also which entry level coilover did they compare to? Also how long did the AGX last with the ASD with your type of driving style.

MY current setup is jackstands waiting for the stance coilovers to show up. My friends Zenki had a set of kei office coilovers *non damp* my s13 felt exactly the same as his car, just not as low. Ive also been on MR coilovers and thought the ride was very similar.

My AGX/ASD setup took anything I threw at it. Street/drift/track/autoX and it performed very well. It was one of the few setups that didnt bottom out on a big dip. I also never had a problem with rubbing during hard transfers.

I have Tokico Blues with Espelir springs on my coupe. Its a decent drop while retaining a decent ride with much improved handling. I would say with AGX's they would work pretty well.
