KILLER Lowering Springs Deal!!
Was shopping around on here for some lowering springs and decided to check eBay. I happened to stumble upon these Espelir Active GT coil springs for $50 plus shipping (mine was $48.60)! Here's the link. The springs are brand new and I can't seem to find anything wrong with them. I went ahead and ordered a pair. The seller has 98% positive feedback so it seems safe. Let me know what you think!

I have a set new in box. I cannot sell it at the crackhead price on ebay, though. I will just keep them for that. If someone is interested PM me.
Here is my compilation of springs, drops and rates. They are in front/rear order....
Mazdaspeed: 280/190 - Drop = .8"/.8" (These rates sound bogus and unconfirmed)
Swift: 207/129 - Drop = .8"/.8"
Espelier: 212/150 - Drop = 1.1"/1.1"
Tein S-Tech: 207/145 - Drop = 1.4"/0.7"
Progress: 205/145 - Drop 1.2/.8
H&R: 195/141 (progressive) - Drop = 1.0"/1.0"
Racing Beat: 187/136 - Drop = 0.5"/0.5"
Eibach: 180/130 (progressive) - Drop = 1.2"/0.8"
Tein H-Tech: 179/129 - Drop = 1.0"/0.3"
Tanabe GF: 179/146 - Drop = 1.4"/1.2"
Tanabe NF: 162/112 - Drop = 1.4"/1.2"
- The Tein S-tech and Tanabe drops the front the lowest.
- Tanabe drops the front and rear the lowest.
- Swift and mazdaspeed heights are identical.
- Mazdaspeed has some really high spring rates. Not sure if this is truly correct!
- Racing Beat is the lowest drop height
- Racing Beat, Mazdaspeed, H&R and Swift are the only ones who do even drop height maintaining factory rake
- Espelier has the highest spring rate and nominal drop, it looks great on paper
