are u nuts? who cares about the bounciness, you will constantly here this *CLUNK* sound whenever u hit a bump and before you know it you're gonna blow those struts. it's just gonna be a hassle to take everything apart again.

Defnetly do not use your stoc struts with sprints, I had just bought oem struts and shocks for my max and within the week of having the sprints on without the rear cut mind you they were totally wasted i was feeling every pothole and bump in the road is was horrible. Don run your sprints with stock struts. Brian

BTW, what is the clunk sound? Is it the valving in the stock struts. I've got Dropzones (which I heard were pretty much identical to Sprints), and I ran them on stock struts to begin with. I changed over to AGXs and everything was great. BTW, bottom of my car sits level. Looks like the front is higher, but when I measure it, it's not.
