Espelir Lowering Springs

They're made by Mackin Industries (the company that imports Volks/Rays Engineering).

They claim a 40mm (1.5") drop up front and a 30mm (1") drop in the rear and a 20-30% increase in spring rate. Anyone else heard of them?

I've heard of them, don't really see too many cars rolling with those springs. I would think anything made by Mackin Ind. should be good.

30mm is roughly 1.2". I have been checking up on them. They have a pic of a TSX w/ the springs at the bottom of their page.

Those pix of the TSX on the Mackin website are of my car... it is my wife's primary vehicle and the springs have since been taken off. Forgot about them and came across them while going through the garage last week... They are now for sale here: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...839#post284839

The drop is pretty agressive, but not slammed... According to my wife, the ride is not choppy or rigid at all, but just a little less refined than stock (I was stationed in Korea while these were test-fitted and then removed). My wife had better pics... I'll try to find them again.
