Anybody here with the Sprints that can help me out, just need some feedabck regarding the drop, ride quality and any other things about them. Do they drop the max lower than the Intrax springs?

I currently have the H&R/Tokico setup and im not happy with the drop i have. I get asked all the time if my car is lowered and that really pisses me off. So id like to get some springs that will drop the max more than my H&R's.

Thanks in advance for any sugestions and help!

See my replies in the general forum...

 

from the front your car looks loooow dude. I wonder how much clearence you would get with front lip.

 

and 1 1/2 - 1 5/8 of drop in the rear.

Of course, ride quality is ZERO! Still love it though...

 

...and I am much happier with the Sprints! The ride is firmer, the drop is lower, and they were MUCH cheaper. I have Tokico struts at this point but I will need to go with Koni's before too long. The 2" drop looks a lot better than the 1.5" with the H&R's.

 

Do you think they are of better quality than the Eibach's?/

do you need a camber kit with a 2" drop.

 

Hey heres the deal... sprint front drop is PHAT... what I would do if i was you.. AND YES I AM BEING SERIOUS... is hang on to your H&R rear springs... buy the sprints and install the sprints in the front... reason being... RYAN93SE has H&R on his 95 max... I have Sprint on my 96 max.. My front is lower than his rear.. and his rear is lower than mine... Weird hugh... well we have measured and pulled the cars up right next to each other... the sprint drop was very dissapointing.

 

Compared to the cost of 17" tires, camber bolts' costs are minimal. I think Tire Rack has them for $25/set?!?!

Order the bolts and put them on before getting alignment done. I made the mistake of having NTB put on the bolts for me at a whopping $75!!

 

What shocks do you have?

And how is the ride quality?

 

The drop in the rear is not as low as the front, and I personally like the look of it. Also, this makes the rear less bouncy...

 

I am currently using stock shocks. I will be getting Koni's as soon as the stock shocks "die." I am expecting to get 10k miles out of the existing ones.

Ride quality? Harsh, but you will get about as much control as you can get out of this front wheel drive car. If you are looking for comfort, then I guarantee you won't be happy with them.

 

on a scale from 1 - 10 on harshness.... what can i expect. 10 being chiropractor time.

 

These springs will make you want to seriously slow down for railroad crossings....

 

wow... 8's pretty up there. Stiff but no bounce. I guess theres always a price to pay for performance. *sigh* I guess I should go ahead and by that back brace now then. My sprints should be here soon.
