Sprint springs and stock struts

I just installed sprint springs on my stock struts. The ride is considerably harsher, and feels like the suspension is bottoming out over small bumps. I will be replacing the struts with Tokicos. Will replacing the struts help the harshness in the ride quality? (I hope so!)

the struts should help especially with the bottoming out. you might want to consider something other than tok's in my opinion...like koni's because the 2" drop will wear out the tok's

I've got Sprints on new OEM style struts, it bottoms out on some holes, but the ride isn't that bad.

I already know which brands will fit 3rd gens in GENERAL, but I am looking for the best setup for a 2" drop? Which brand will hold up the longest and give me the best ride quality?

there are no springs available for 3rd gen with a 2" drop. the most is 1.8" with sprint and 1.75" with intrax. they both will hold up the same amount of time. and the ride isn't much different.
