I am very close to making my spring/ strut purchase but I need to know how harsh sprints are? I have read that they are pretty rough but I need specifics. Are we talking like bone jarring? Give me a for instance. For example: Highway over passes. ( the little expansion strip where the bridge meets the road) @ 70 mph. How about a road that has patch work on it @ say 45 mph? Also is it just rough through the wheel or does it feel like it bottoms out? The same question applies to progress springs. I hate to sound so nit-picky but I only want to do this once and not have to switch out springs later. Thank you for the feedback. Where the hell else would I be able to find this stuff out. I like the ORG... more than a friend.

 

It's jarring no matter what with the Sprints. I test drove a local member's 96 SE 5 speed with Sprints, AGX, and the stock 15s through the drag strip parking lot and the ride was harsh and bouncy. When I watch his car rolling down the road, it hops over bumps, the bonuces a lot.

If you want an H&R Spring ride, but a drop between that of the Sprints and Eibach, try the B&G springs.....

 

I have Progress matched up with AGXs. The shocks are set to 2 in front & 4 in back; basically midway in stiffness for bound/rebound. I find no discomfort in driving over expansion joints.

I find the set-up slightly stiffer than stock but definitely not bone jarring. That said, when the front AGXs are set to 1 (softest), I find the front end floaty (which you might refer to as "comfy"). BTW, my wifey, who is less tolerant of a stiff ride, finds the Max comfortable with that set-up.

 

Hey...i have sprints with the back springs cut (1 coil) and i dont know why ppl complain about the ride...i doenst bother me or a few other ppl i know who have sprints...i am also on stock struts..
