Right now I have Intrax springs. My Koni yellows are on the way. I want to get Sprint springs. I already had an alignment when I got my Intrax springs. So, do I need to get another alignment if I get the new Sprint springs? Thanks.

I would highly recommend it.

Hey Ken,

Why did you get rid of the Sprint's? I don't remember. Is it a good buy? I decided to not get a kit, so going even lower than my Intrax's won't be a problem.

Re: Re: yeah definitely.

i got rid of the sprints b/c the ride was a little too stiff for me and they were kind of low...i scraped pretty often. plus Dalton and Tom at Lightning weren't too fond of Sprint and so i took their advice.

i would say switch to eibachs or H&R's just to be safe...personally i don't think the max looks good when its dropped to low.

hey Mike you got to let me hear the Apexi one day, i'm thinking about getting one.

Ken, the Apexi WS exhaust is really nice. I think you will like it. So, did you get the cold air intake yet? Without a y-pipe, I heard the WS exhaust is very quiet, that's good if you don't like it loud. Even with the y-pipe like I have, it's not that loud. It's perfect in my opinion.

As far as the Sprint's, I don't think the ride can't be as stiff as my Intrax's. I like the much lower look. I wanted to get coilovers, but it costs about $400.

no CAI yet and i don't know if i will

you remember that monsoon we had here in LA a couple of weeks ago...weather like that worries me. i drove through some deep water around LSU, so i'm kind of hesitant on that intake.

i really want the exhaust for looks and a deeper tone, and then later i'll add the Y and maybe CAI.

after Tom installed the Koni and sprints in my car, he said it was one of the stiffest car's he's ridden in....and he has coilovers in his Civic Si :O!
