I just installed my sprint springs the other day -so far i am very happy with them but i actually thought they were a lil lower. I kno they should settle a lil bit but i was really wondering how much. how much of a gap do you guys have in front/back -just a general finger gap for each. Im just trying to see how much of a gap i will have after they settle. Please let me kno thanks-how long did it take for your sprints to settle and how much did they?

i noticed with mine the front was perfect for me about 2 fingers....the back was still too much ........but my problem is i run 16s with shorter tires than recommended......as far as sagging no i havent had anymroe sagging than the intial settle.....had em in since june

50 series tires.......the back is about a fist....for 16s i am supposed to have 55 series....it actually makes a big difference....cause now with my winter wheels and tires it looks like a 1/2" lower

ive been on my sprints for well over a year now and no signs whatsoever of sagging, thats more of a problem with Intrax than any other spring i know of for the 4th gen. Id say give them a good 2 weeks to settle in completely. As far as the drop, when i have my 18's on there is a 2finger gap in the front and back. The rear on mine is about 1/2" lower because i had cut them down 1 and 3/4 coils to make the drop even all around. They do ride like crap though, hehe. I still ove the look though :/


a one finger gap with sprints is totally unreallistic... unless your stuffing 20's in there i dont see how you could have only one finger! even my friend with 19's had a tight 2-finger gap.

what color are your sprints? red or blue?

ight thanks a lot guys so so far it is realistically around a tight 2 finger gap -how about the back gap without any cutting?

97maxxx

blue -why does that make a diff? please explain

ok these are pics that supa lao took (since it was his car), but now its mine and i cant really test cause right now im sitting on 19's instead of my usual stock 2k2 rims....


btw, car no longer has that kit, if it matters... you will have to ask supa lao how long the springs have been on, but i have had the car for 5 months, so its been awhile

im getting the feeling that sprints are not that great of a spring. I have seen so many different ride height from them. Popular yes.....cheap yes.....some look good some look bad. I really dont understand it.

I had about a 2-finger gap up front, 4-finger in the rear. I cut a dead coil off the rear and got it down to a 3-finger gap.

no finger front: 1 finger back (1coil cut) on sprint red's had them for 2+ years... minimal sag.

yea they really seem like almost every set is diff. I just installed them the other day and since day 1 i have had a 2 finger gap in front and 3 in back and it should go down so im guessing i have a pretty low drop compared to you all -i dunno and i have even seen people on sprints -i4get his name that the front is like almost tucking -i dunno anyone else wanna add

I cut a dead coil in the rear to make the car even. I've had sprints on the car for about 3 years (I think)

i had my sprints for like a year and half and i remember it settled after like a week or two of driving. I had like a 1 1/2 finger gap in front and like a 3 finger gap in back. ps don't forget to get the wheel alignment done
