what springs should i get?

ok this is the problem, i don't have a lot of money and i want to drop my car. i can't decide between sprint or dropzones. i have heard a lot about sprints and the only problem is that i hear they are high in the rear. i wanted the closest thing to a 2 inch drop all around which is what dropzones have. are dropzones that bad or should i justr get them? not the coilovers just the srping witht he 2 inch drop?. let me know

this will help in your decision. i would say sprint or intrax for your desire. I heard dropzones suck.

sprint - $150, 2" in. drop all around, no sag in the back.
drop zone - $100, 2" in. drop all around, sag in the back.

i know many people are running sprints, they are stiff and looks great with 2" drop all around. they also improve cornering a lot. if u don't live in a very bumpy area then go for it. sprint tends to get very harsh after 2 months. since sprint drop is so low, u should pair it up with adjustable shocks like KYB AGX or Koni yellow.

i have 1 word for drop zone springs: sux.

Yeah, progress doesnt really drop to the advertised drop they say, but they still look good and the ride is damn good. I just wish it was 1 more finger all around.........eh, what can you do? Just enjoy the ride I guess, lol.

I have intrax and it lowered the car pretty nice. the rear looks a little low but it dependts on the street (looks silly in my up hill drive way). Its low enough for me, and im sure if i had new shocks/sruts it would ride much better. IMO out of 10 they get a 7.
