does your rear sit higher than the fronts? when I bought the springs I was told that the car would sit equal after the springs have settled. I've had the springs for a month or two and and the rear is sitting a bit higher than the fronts

Its been.....

two months, everything is settled as far as I know and the back still sits higher than the rear...its got a "hot rod" look to it,(will look even better with rims and kit) I like it, but would've prefered the Intrax's or Sus. Tech slammed look, but oh well. and whoever told you they settle in evenly was wrong, the guys that installed it said they desgined the springs specifically o settle higher in the rear.

I thought the IntraxandSus tech are higher riding than Sprints. I knowthe Sus Tech are also linear springs, I wanted a progressive spring.

but if you look at James92se's Intrax, the rear is slammed just as much as the front. and also Silvermax(not a Max.org regular) has Suspension Tech and I've seen his car in person, its MUCH lower than than mine, but they've both had their springs on longer than we've had our Sprints...so who knows what might happen in another couple months??

i've had my intrax springs for about 6 months and the rear sags a little lower than the front. i would have rather gotten the sprint springs. oh well, the grass is always greener on the other side...

i`d rather have my front sit lower than rear.. because i have stock springs and like the rear sits lower than the front, and it doesnt look right like that..i`d rather have that hot rod look to it..

well anyways Today 9-24 my tokico shocks and sprint springs just came in today, im gonna install it saturday with my lil brother.. =)

=D such a happy day..

I think that all the spring compaines probably have slight imperfections in each of their batches. That could explain why certain springs ride different and look different than others.

Personally, I don't mind the front a little lower thanthe backs
