That's a good price. In harshness, they compare to the Eibachs, definitely firm. They are lower than anything else besides coil overs. Get em, but I'm officially retracting my personal recommendation that they be teamed up with Tokico struts. The Toks cant take it.

Yep, they are going bad. It's not a function of the ride height. The Sprints are a lot stiffer then your H&R's. Plus, I drive on the worlds most ravaged highway every day to work.

Always dreaming...

about what to do to the Max, but $$ and the wife usually win.

I like your set up with the monitor..looks good.

I clicked on your homepage link, but it doesn't work.

Next things on my list:

Sprint Springs w/ KYB AGXs ( if they ever come out)
FSB & RSB

right now I've just got intake and Greddy on my 95 SE....the wife loves the sound both make at full throttle!

Questions about Shocks etc

Hey Everyone,
I have some questions about shocks and stuff. Forst what is meant when you say it is a stiffer ride? Do you feel hits and bumbps harder or less? By stiffer I got the feeling that they would have less give and hitting bumps would make them feel like much more of an impact. I could be very wrong and just grabbing the terminology wrong. Also another thing that comes to mind are the coil overs. Are theese just something to go over them for style or again are they a performance mod? If so if you wouldnt mind letting me know what they do it would be great. I know this is getting ling but are all these things acceptable to do on stock rims. What I mean is would it just be a waste or a general upgrade.

Thanks

SuDZ

Good Question

I dont know what coil overs are either. I just purchased sprint spings yesterday. They should be fine with stock rims. A few members of the org have stock rims and lowered suspensions. They look great. Most likely with springs you will need new shocks. The stock shocks will not be able to handle the drop of the spings. hope this helps and that someone will in form us about coilovers?
