So, how's the ride with Sprints?

I've seen a lot of people have been getting the Sprint Springs lately, but I haven't seen any posts on how the ride is.

I'm planning on Sprint Springs w/ KYB AGX Shocks. I guess the ride will differ with different shocks.

Yep...bigtime backorder.

I paid too much to get mine, but I did get some last week.

Otherwise, pretty much noone has them.

The ride is surprising good. The Sprint's ride better then my old Intrax's. I got them because they were relatively cheap. However, I might go with Ground Control coilovers soon. I don't care if the ride is stiff. I sort of got used to that when I had the Intrax's.

Sprints...

Haha I bought them from Impact Parts before they sold out for about $140 shipped . I am running on stock struts (and have been for 2 months now thanyou), and they are not that bad at all. You will not feel all the little bumps in the road like some people say, but when you hit a big bump or a speed bump you had best be going 15MpH or you are going to need some kind of *ss surgery. The big bumps are REALLY rough and the little ones are just a little harsher. No biggie if you have good roads.

They also have a new spring that will slam your ride 2inches as well

There is this new spring out I spoke to two stores and they said they are made by the same company that makes sprints springs. They are called dropzone springs 2 inch drop all around. I got them on like one of the guys said little bumps no big deal big bumps means slow your rear down. Replacing your shocks will also help alot. the website is www.Teamdropzone.com I got my from the car boutique in Miami Florida they are $125.00 thats with tax.

i sense there will be lots of used sprints for sale in the near future.i too will be getting rid of the sprints for ground controls but not untill next spring.btw the way the ride is a little bouncy but i like it. you cant beat them for the price.make sure you get some good shocks though.
