Sprint springs = 2" drop. And like dmontzmax said, that's pretty much standard fare, in terms of pricing. Probably a bit on the high side, IMO.

As for shocks (read - STRUTS), Eibach seems to be what a lot of people go with here. I've got Sprint springs coupled with Spring Tech struts. No problems with mine after 10 months.

But use your OWN monetary judgement, when you look to purchase some.

Hey have you had any other kind of strut you can compare your spring techs to? I'm in the market and I like the 38 dolla price

I have Sprint Springs with KYB struts. The drop in the car is nice. I will upgrade to at least Tokico struts in the summer. Koni's would be nice.

I don't know if kevincleff still has his website pics up but that is what the car looks like with the drop.

Yeah. That sounds like a good deal. Normally, they're marked at 165, I think.

I originally had Tokico struts. I'd highly compare these to either those or the KYB's. IIRC, when I called to place an order for mine, the rep mentioned that their struts were made by the same company that makes KYB - so in essence, it's just the 'bargain' brand of KYB.

Eibach is a brand of spring, not strut. I run eibachs / tokicos and like them, though I might put suspension techniques springs in the front when summertime rolls around to make the drop more aggressive (right now, the front looks higher than the rear).

That's a strut problem not a spring problem

Yeah, I must've had too much of that 'cheeba' when I wrote that... my bad!
