For the person who posted their Silverstone on Koni/Espelirs and Works, you said you had it set on the lower Koni perch? Are you sure?

Mine and one other guy I know have Espelir ASDs on stock shocks and the car sits VERY low, my OEM 17" AP2s are nearly tucked under the well. I would be worried that if anyone installed Konis and set them on the lower perch, it would rub quite significantly.

Im pretty sure since I installed them myself. Maybe your springs were installed backwards?

Ive had both Espelir and Skunk2.
Skunk2 rides smoother. Closer to stock ride.
Espelir rides a bit stiffer but has more drop.

Any of you guys installed half shaft spacers when using this combo? Very interested as I'm about to install mine and don't want to spend the labor for later on to install the spacers.

Thanks in advance

Great thread, I would suggest anyone who is thinking about lowering their car to take a read at the thread. Very informative, but could be kinda hard to take all in at the first read.

On a side note, anyone ever experience bottoming out the springs? I had that issue with my MR2 when I upgraded to TRD springs & Koni Yellow (on full soft setting). I ended up having to add the spring buffer (not sure the exact term) to eliminate the noise. I went on Espelir's website and they are selling them, wondering if it's an issue?

Espelir call them the "Noise Stopper":

What are the specs on that wheel/tire setup?
