Cost of sprint sprngs

I'm going to buy some springs soon and was wondering why are sprint springs so cheap compared to H&R and Eibachs? What's the difference besides the drop? $130 bucks compared to about $250? Thanks~!!

Sprints Vs. Eibach...

H&Rs, Eibachs, and B&Gs are all made in Europe. Sprints are made in America. The European springs listed tend to be much softer than the Sprints, but as you said they do not have the same drop either. If you think because its European it must be better you are being an idiot because you are paying for them to be imported. That's all. Sprints are a little firmer, but that is because they are designed that way, not because they are American. They are awesome .

i have sprints and i love them..the first few weeks were rough, but once they settled the ride is nice. i bought minr from www.2kracing.com for 190.00, but you might be able to find them cheaper if you look harder......good luck.

You can get the B&G's for the same price as the sprints. I think I am going to go with the B&G's myself.
