Thanks. Spring/agx combo is great. Not to rough with great handling and stability. The shocks make most of the difference.

well if you look at Nick97SE car the front is lower and a few people have had the same result, and in order to get the even drop they cut a coil off the back to even it out.

but yours had the even drop all around

I think the 2 15's in the trunk have something to do with that.

heh mine too. from the pic you posted the maxspeed springs seem to be level in the front and back. did you have some extra weight in the trunk?

i decided to get sprint springs because i read that 5spds with maxspeed springs did not sit level.

Honestly, The Drop looks the same for both. It only looks just a tad bit lower for the sprints because of the diffrent angle you had when you took the picture, plus that Stillen Front Lip you have with the sprints.

Just my 2 cents!
