Re: Supensipn Question? Sprints or Dropzone

I have a 95 max with 18" wheels an i'm thinking about doing a drop. i was considering either the dropzone or the sprints. From what i read, both give a 2" drop all round. Which do you guys think are better, (p.s. the dropzone springs are cheaper) and if anyone has pics of the dropzone or sprint springs on their cars, please post link or pics.
thx.

Neither. 2" is too low. Go for Eibach or H&R.

I was all set for going with a set of Sprints because I wanted the 2" drop.
But the company I was buying from didn't have any of them in stock, and I wanted to get them in for the weekend, so I went with Eibach's and I am extremely happy with the drop and the handling.
Also after reading all the things people have been saying about sprint and dropzone, I'm glad I didn't waste my money.

Sprints are good for me, you might want to cut a coil in the rear to make it sit even... Love the handling/looks...

I have sprints in the front and drop zones in the rear. The drop zones dont give u 2 inches in the front they are more like 1.8 or 1.7. I combined the 2.

go with sprints, my dropzones didn't give me near the drop i needed/wanted, they dropped the car approximately 1.5" all around, so don't waste your money like i did on dropzones and just get sprints right away.

Buy a real spring, one that can perform well on everyday roads and make your car look good.

Progress. the drop is a bit lower than H&R and gives you the combo of handling w/comfortability.
