i have heard that sprints are not too harsh a ride, and also that the ride is horrible, i have no way to decide if it will be too tough. i have a 99 miata too, i did not get the upgraded suspension, since the stock was good enough, but i didnt mind the feel of the upgraded suspension. i know i will never get my max to handle like the miata, but i would like a ride in that vicinity. and i want a clean look, not slammed, not 4 wheelin.

sprints look good cause they are lower at about a 2" drop, but i find the drop to be uneven.

i dont' have any aftermarket springs yet, but from what i hear, i think h&r's are lower, out handle, and are more comfortable than maxspeeds. but they are twice the price.

No spring up to date gives you a even drop. It may be even but since our front fenderwells are cut higher the drop may not seem even. You want an even drop to your likes and look then you go to a coil over. H & R spring gives the Maxima Minimal drop and you ll have a larger gap in the front then in the rear. Progress, Intrax, Eibach, Dropzone and Eibach gives the rear of the car the soggy a@@@ss. On the other hand Sprint lowers the Front and leaves a little gap in the rear which can be fixed by cutting off one rear coil.
I am done with this suspension issue.
