I have H&R springs on my 96 right now but I have to say I'm very intrigued by the $119 group buy on Sprint springs. I want my car a little lower than the H&R but the ride is really good with them. Will my ride get a lot worse with the Sprints? I dont want to kill my ride quality to go a little lower.

Anyone with Sprint springs... what do you think of them? have you been happy with the drop, handling, and ride quality?

Should I stick with the H&R or go with the Sprints?

I use to have eibach springs then I swithced to Sprints, the ride seems a little ruffer then it was with my eibachs and the handeling is about the same as my eibachs. The extra drop is what made me do the swap.

Your front will be MUCH lower, the back will be about the same. The ride will also be firmer, but the handling will improve that much as well. You will lose that nice soft ride though

Once your shocks go out your ride is going to be horrible with the sprints. Why not replace everything at once?
