Hi...

sprints with rota wheels...

 

 

sagamax... the pic on ur siggg is sooooooo sooooo nice!

 

Im on Sprints with 18's as well.

 

thanks 10 char

 

are they 20's?

how's the ride on that?

 

PhotoChop!

 

This use to be my car:


It has now turned into Tilley's n/a playtoy

Oh yea, sprints w/ 18's

 

man.... that's what i thought.... cuz those rims looks TOOOOO big to be on a max.... but it does look hot though ;-)

DEX... what kind of car are u gonna be gettin'... STI or EVO??

 

btw... check the sig for the sprints w/ 18's...

 

Not sure, I think I want luxury now. Maybe a tsx or a legacy 2.5gt

 

they are 18s and im on sprints. it is photoshopped

 

MMmmmmm...... Maybe TL?
Those cars look so nice to me ..
Off Topic?

 

that was my setup. I had ground controls with koni yellows but i didn't like it for some reason; then I switched to sprints with the koni's. I wished though that I waited cause now I would have gotten the tein setup. but my ride is good enough now.

 

18" Motegi w/ Sprints and Tokico Blues...visit my homepage for pics

 

Dude, your actual car looks much better than that photochop.

 

I was about to post the exact same thing. The photoshop car looks absolutely retarded, but the real pic looks great.

 

I was

 

i know but i like the cartoonish look with the wheels looks like i have 22s

 

That is the problem.

 

also was on sprints, AGX, and 18s

 

 

hehe..i'm swapping out my maxspeed and getting sprint in 2 weeks

 

i may as well be on sprints.

For those of you who have used them, got any gripes? I noticed some ppl switch to something else after a while.

 

hey, thats my car!!! i was like wtf "it looks just like mine!" (but slower haha) til i figured out that dex posted it! my car looks sweet

 

Has anyone here cut any coils from their sprints? There are a lot of "dead" coils on them and I am thinking of cutting one coil off in the front and rear when I switch to that setup.

 

Question guys.

I just purchased some sprint springs. I tried to install them Saturday but failed because I don't have the stock strut mounts.

I instead have stillen camber plates.

I thought for a 2 inch drop a camber correction kit was suggested.

What should I do guys? Do I need to purchase stock top strut mounts or is there some trick?

P.S. I am coming from Ground controls.

 

if you want your car lower than it is.. buy coilovers

 

i cut one from the rear, because since i'm an auto, it was really @ss high, now it's almost perfectly even ....

Post pics at some point this week....

 

what difference does it make if your an auto or 5spd?

 

there's more weight hanging up front in an auto...

 

Optimus is a auto, his isnt that much of a difference. it looks higher but its still nice looking not too high...

about how much higher is i in the rear? more than 1/8th of an inch? or what?

 

Also, handling wise, how do sprints perform agains Ground Controls. I want to switch to sprints from my GCs but i dont wana sacrafice my handling...

 

I assume he prolly has a speaker box in the back...mine was a good 3/4 inch higher in the rear....

 

Actually mine is 5 spd and yes I do have a 45lbs sub box in my trunk. When I first had the sprints they were a bit uneven, but since people ride on my car all the time they became pretty even.
As far as handling goes they did handle pretty good. They handle better than my current setup which is Tein-H tech and tokico illuminas all around. I had
KYB AGX and Sprints before, and I only switched them because I wanted to try something different, not because I didn't like ride. I bet that sprints and illuminas would the ultimate drop as far as springs go.
Sprints are even lower than S-techs

 

Bottoming out on sprints sucks... I bottom all out the time, and my AGX's are on 4/8... Also after 2+ years of ownership, the front springs seem to have lost tension..

 

I actually asked optimus and he IS a 5spd. My bad, ...

3/4 inch gap? thats crazzzy!

lol, i guess cutting a coil and getting the rear strut mounts (the one that has a GD for, the extended ones...whatever) wouldnt be such a bad idea.

Anyone have any doubts? etc?

As for bottoming out, i dont c how that is possible with sprints, i have GCs with VERY little suspension travel since im actualy dropped a lil lower that sprints (2.2 inches or more..) and i bottom out every ONCE in a while. Only in extreme conditions where i get scared lol.. With sprints the spring rate is about hight 300s to mid 400s (i cant member exact numbers, but the GCs are rated at like 510 pounds in the front and like 480 in the back....

I duno, i guess you live in some F'd up roads! :Grinno:

any responses to my rant? ;o

 

i guess we'll both see each other with sprint at daniel's place pretty soon
