who here has bought these shocks? r they good or should i get something else. currently im in the market to gettin' a new suspension setup and im lookin' at the sprint springs so that i get the 2.0 drop. right now im ridin' around on Arospeed lowerin' springs with a 1.75 drop and they r garbage. i know most of u guys have sprints and eibachs and intrax. i don't want the eibachs so that just leaves me with sprint and intrax. out of those 2 springs which is better? or whats the best setup?

 

I heard intrax are better than sprints. I have sprints and like em with my kyb's.

 

I like the drop of the Intrax better...it seems more consistant than the Sprints. With that said I love the drop of several cars I have seen on Sprints including my new car (it came with sprints/tokicos) but others I have seen do not look very low or even...its kind of weird actually. I think for handling the Intrax would probably be better with their design.

Sprints are actually 1.8" not 2" and Intrax are 1.75" (or they have them listed at 1.7 now).

I think either one will be fine but I have heard it takes the Sprints a little time to settle where the Intrax are at their height as soon as you drop the car (at least mine were).


Edit: if you can afford them or if you want to wait Koni is the way to go for struts.

 

yeah my intrax dropped right away. i love em!

 

so i should just get intrax instead of sprints? what about shocks? it has to be something that i feel is a bit stiffer but not bumpy or loose.

 

If you cant wait or dont want to spend the money then I think the concensus is Tokico.

 

i'll keep in this mind Michael. as for the drop height on these springs, which of the 2 will "actually" sit lower than 1.75? cuz i have a 1.75 drop with my Arosh!ts but the handling is horrible and my suspension feels really loose. i remember when i first got these springs my ride/handling felt stiffer but over the time it just go weak and i don't want to encounter this again with new springs and shocks. **** my '89 SE handles and rides better with cut springs and kyb shocks compared to my '93 with Arospeed springs and kyb shocks.

 

I dont know...when I decided to get new springs I was sold on Sprints but started searching and looking on cardomain and I decided to go with Intrax mainly because if its even more consistant drop...all Intrax dropped cars look the same height where some sprints looked slammed and some look like an old hot rod with the back jacked up.

Their quality may be better now. I know that there is no way I would want to go lower than what my Intrax were. It tucked the tires a good inch in the back and about half an inch in the front (maybe more). Just look around on cardomain and look at the drops for yourself and see which one you like better.
