What's up guys? I need everybodys opinion on which of these springs to get for my AP1. I've tried searching but nothing came up, I tried S2Ki's search engine but seems like it doesnt work very well. Now this is my daily driver, I have no intentions of tracking my car (maybe later). I'm just looking for a nice spring w/ a nice drop, not too low not too high. Now I was in the middle of purchasing the Espelir springs until somebody mentioned the H&R springs. Maybe you guys can help me make up my mind on whice one to get. If you guys have any pictures of your car w/ either spring on stock shocks please post em' up. Any input of either spring would be good too

 

i like the Espelir just because my buddy had them and they were not too bad for just a spring.

 

How does the stance look? Did your buddy say how the ride quality was?

 

The Espelirs very well. It lowers the front and rear to approximately the same ride height, so there's no rake to it (front lower than rear).

 

Thanks guys, looks like Espelir it is.

Oh yeah, what website sells them? I found 1 website but it said they were currently out of stock. Let me know guys, thanks a lot for your input.

 

try s2ki.com, i think william from e-autosport sells then for 180ish.

get them before they runs out


one thing those the spring rate is much higher than stock springrate so don't expect the stock damper to handle the additional pounding under load

Wow thanks for all those specs. Well if that's the case, I hear KY is a good combo w/ the spring. If this is true then the stock dampers will be replaced later on down the road when the stockies go out. One more question, is this setup good for daily driving?

 

I just purchased my s2000 2 weeks ago and dropped it on the espiler springs with koni shocks. Perfect drop with the oem rims and rides fairly smooth. If you plan on getting aftermarket wheels bigger than 17s than you will probably have issues with rubbing unless you roll the fenders. Im gonna take some pictures tonight so ill try to post them up for you. Good luck

Hell yea! post up those pics man. If I get any wheels they're not going to be any bigger then 18's. I'm about to purchase an OEM lip here pretty soon, is there enough clearance if I put it on. If not then I'm not gonna get the lip. You guys are the breast!! Thanks a lot. Honda-Tech FTW!
