i just threw on my sprints & spring tech struts and i'm not happy.

i have about 2.5 fingers of gap up front and a good 3 in the rear.

i know the rear generally sits high but the front seems a bit high too.

if i installed the springs upside down, which i don't think i did but this is my 1st suspension install of any kind, could this explain the height differences?

will they settle down in time?

i think i'm going to cut a coil in the rear. anyone have a pic of a good description of wear to cut?

suggestions and comments welcome.

thank in advance org.

peace,

1) Sprints won't settle
2) Tighter coils at the top or your car will not rebound correctly and most likely blow the struts and damage your front end
3) Sprints always sit higher in the rear
4) stinky pinky
5) Please don't ever cut your coils. If you don't like the drop in the rear try to find someone with Intrax Springs who are willing to swap the rear as Intrax are the opposite of Sprint.. higher in the front and lower in the rear. Cutting the coils promotes poor suspension travel and will eventually blow the shocks.

 

stinky pinky???

so your saying no matter which way i install the springs the height would be the same?

my drop doesn't look like most other people who have dropped on sprints thats why i'm worried.

i'll try to get some pics up tonight to show you guys....

 

its when you stick your finger in a .... and then smell it


that is correct. The only difference is the performance factor

Pictures can be different, also sprint makes different versions of their springs that they didn't tell anyone about.
